Re: [projectvrm] Development project table for the wiki

[Jonathan Peterson < >]

I tabled it and attempted to map the DEV/FOSS/PDS and Standards columns, but didn't remove any of the descriptions to people can double-check my work.  :=)

It's great that this list has grown long:

But it's also unwieldy, and doesn't say much.

I see that Drummond added some explanatory text next to listings. I also marked the corporate ones (as opposed to pure code dev projects) with a "†". There's probably some other symbol that would work better. (And less like a grave marker.) I'd use an asterisk, but it has a special meaning in Mediawiki composition, so I chose this other one instead.

In any case, I think we need a table. Same list on the left (for rows), and characteristics across the top (columns). Any thoughts about that? I've not done tables in Mediawiki before, but I'm sure it's not too hard. And what would the columns be? My own first pass (just so we start somewhere; I'm attached to none of these):

       - Company
       - Dev project
       - Free/Open Source
       - PDS
       - Standard(s)
       - Lanuguage
       - Communications
       - Service
       - Open API

There would be a "•" in cells where the characteristic columns and named rows intersect.

Volunteers welcome. :-)
