I definately think the quality of your contributions is high enough, others
can also proofread and give in their experiences, so… By *all* means, go ahead
*already*.
It doesn´t fit all inside the table directly, I bet, *but* you can use
footnotes or further explainations regarding features that need them with a
headline per feature below the table and a link to it from within the table.
Thank you!
