Title: Simplify and clarify the references to info about the protein being analyzed.

Request: Add a link to a project web page, or at least a short description of the project the task is/was part of and maybe a link to the research team's public web page?

Where:
    At the web page showing the work package's results, e.g. https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=XXXXXXXXX
    If possible, directly in the GUI for displaying the molecule being folded



Rationale: Enabling specific insights into what my computers are calculating would increase my willingness to donate compute power. I am convinced that goes for many more persons than me. STEM-educated people can often relate to detailed biotech information, even if they do not understand every detail. Donors without ability to make sense out of detailed biotech info could then at least relate better to their specific contributions. In any case, this part is missing from the otherwise nice web-pages complementing the generic Bionic-client GUI for understanding what's going on. Whilst having a molecule wriggle on the screen is nice, an explanation (a one-liner and a link to a research project overview) would make the graphics so much more relevant to the user, I believe.

Relations to other threads: This request is not exactly the same as thread 12307, post 87700, from 2017.
