Hi
Everytime I get a new WU I go to http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummaryC.html and find the project and ready about it. But from time to time a find a project like http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/fah ... ned?p=7149 with no usefull information. As a relativ new user (been folding since september and generated 4.3 mio points) I am still interested the reason/project behind each project. Therefor I urge that someone would update project description where it is missing

Oops, nevermind. pela3247 doesn't have a forum account. That's strange. I'll see if there is another way...

Projects 7100-7158 all have the same issue.
With V7 showing project descriptions now, it would be nice to see great project descriptions. The scientist who launches the project makes the description. The issue has been brought up before though:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19643&start=45#p201767 and viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19643&p=205495#p205495
If you can see this, the original announcement is here with the description from "Per": viewtopic.php?f=22&t=17536

"Per" appears to be "pela3247" so I've notified them.
