I agree, I have been looking for this info for a while now.

Nice, but I suspect is better to list applications vertically and
features horizontally, since is easier to add a new template line than
to modify each line to add a single app. I think this point is already
proven by the addition of the gpsmid app which is lower on the page,
but not in the table.

What do you think?
