new wave of players and update on full functionality

[zoran]

As some you may have noticed we've had a large influx of new players due to the Nature article and the following press interest. If you're a veteran Foldit player, we encourage you to help out the new players as they go through the intro levels and start working on challenge puzzles. It is exactly the community of Foldit players that makes this project so amazing.

I have also posted a blog entry explaining the source of our downtime last week, and the partial functionality we've had for several days afterward in another blog post http://fold.it/portal/node/988176
We've learned a lot from these, and we should handle future downtimes more gracefully.
