I think you can make your manifesto page 'more like a manifesto' by starting it with a sentence something like
"Our goal in ResearchCoders is to draw the attention of programmers to research that has not yet been realised and urge those programmers to implement practical systems that realize the ideas of that research".
This is based on one of the existing sentences.
Actually the wikipedia definition [0] of 'manifesto' is fairly loose: "A manifesto is a published declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government". By that definition, you have a manifesto.
