[documentation] project/usage page needs more advertising

[Scott McKinnis]

That's pretty cool! I could see many different ways of using this page.
Right up front (being the newb I am) I'd use it to see what modules are
staying active and not headed out in the future. Maybe? Also I can actually
*find* a module for download. In searching for a module I seem to find all
modules associated with that module long before I can get to the module I
actually I want.
