[OH-Dev] Visual changes to the training missions pages

I was looking at http://openhatch.org/missions/ recently, and felt it was 
kind of a mess. That makes sense, given the history; we never paid any 
attention to its visuals. So:

1) I just pushed some changes that change the text around the missions. 
Commit: 
http://gitorious.org/openhatch/oh-mainline/commit/65ec22df56cedf79bb1d157df805f2cbec763509

Here's the commit log message:

Adjust missions landing page

* Explain the training missions up-top

* Invite contribution in a new section below

* Create a <h3> class that does not float: left

2) I'm thinking it'd be nice to show each training mission more clearly. 
So I imagined little visual cards (that look like e.g. Monopoly cards), 
one for each mission. Then we can group them into sections that explain to 
the visitor why you might want to try that mission.

I've attached a rough-draft-level sketch of what that would look like.

It's a pretty quick set of changes to implement that (doable by anyone) -- 
I wanted first to get a sense of if people liked the idea.
