Hi Dan--
I agree the chart is on the verge of over-loading and personal
summaries/accounts are very useful. How about this? After a person
uses the spreadsheet to sort the features and find the units she/he
wants to research closer, one cell could contain links to personal
accounts. We could name the links in a model number-reviewer format
like, "Ares-MII-DD." I'm concerned about creating an endless
editing/update task for me or others.
This way, people post or upload reports and then send me a link to
add to the chart. For people who'd like to get their feet wet in
simple web-page publishing at the same time, Googledocs is a free
service where one types into an on-line "ms word" doc and then
publishes it to the web. You can insert photos in the text too.

Here are the terms: My enthusiasm will be proportional to the the
help I receive. (No one has volunteered to help fill-in data yet).
