If you're talking about merge conflicts, it applies fine on my current 
working copy.  (There's trailing whitespace on the "@pr_info =" line, by 
the way.)

I'm not sure if I understand your objective correctly.  If this is 
exclusively about performance, may I suggest you wait with this till I 
have implemented caching?  Regenerating the project list might end up 
being fast enough that it won't matter at all; so no reason to 
complicate the code.

If it's about the convenience of maintaining project descriptions in a 
central place, sure, that's fine.
