How can I contribute?
Find a table cell (or multiple) that isn't filled out, and make an issue/pull request about it. While stating why it's true (explanation doesn't have to be very sophisticated or sourced/grounded, most of the time).
OR
Find a table cell (or multiple) that has a quesiton mark, and source why it's true/untrue with an issue or pull request.
FAQ
Q: Why not split the table?
A: I think the table isn't big enough for a split to be valuable, and it's easier to check for all the features you'd want with one glance, instead of going back and forth between two tables.
Q: xECS isn't here, why's that?
A: Idk, ask about it in a new issue, it might be too niche, or something.
