I have two problems with this page.  It is clear that creating text  
for these links is not happening in a reasonable amount of time which  
is a strong sign that people don't value this page.  Second, I see  
this page as link overhead.  It is simply some text between me and  
the content I desire.  Each of the sub projects has a home page and  
this is really what I am after, not some brief summary.

+1 to remove the subprojects top tab and page
