Re: [rt-pmc] Paragraph URLs

If you trim dynamically to the first paragraph that would be fine for
jetty...if you want it just flat out shorter let me know and I'll chop
it down..but that paragraph is used in other locations I believe is it
not?

In isolation a few more lines does not hurt but in aggregate it makes the project list very long and daunting.  The paragraph text is meant specifically for aggregation in lists like we see on the new RT page.  So in an effort to manage the overall page length, I suggest that project paragraphs should render no more than ~4 lines on the RT project web page.
