Revise descriptions for our projects (#625)

### Summary This PR revises descriptions of projects maintained by IBMers. I don't believe we need maintainer signoff for these projects so I'm doing them all in one PR. *** Part of #623 --------- Co-authored-by: Rebecca Dimock <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Abby Mitchell <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: abbycross <[email protected]>
