Good one.

Maybe 2 categories, each using Red-Yellow-Green...
Category One: Features Supported/Technical status
Category Two: Licensing Status
More?

What comes to mind is the SANE scanner compatibility list... the color

left out either.

I dunno, I just toss out ideas.
Like em? Hate em? Use em? Forget em? Its all the same to me.
