''What should we do with this page? Should we make a section for companies? Should we provide more details/links?''

''I'd suggest we use companies and organizations for contributing companies. And a separate page for distros. How do we decide what individuals should be listed here? People with edit privs on the webpage? :) How do we decide who edits?''

''One idea would be to list people who are willing to be listed as resources to help others in particular areas -- subject matter experts. That way we don't have to judge if anyone has contributed "enough" to be listed.''
