Potential base: the elearningindustry features list overview: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GzPtK8_fuKryay-mgshY6XnUOGyCJDpNor9PxkK2gJI/edit?usp=sharing
Do better: adding more details, adding correct supported or not supported features, adding new features like "prerequisites, learner progress tracking and completion API, override learner scores, GDPR support, video transcription etc. etc".
In Addition, this empty page in Confluence is more frightening than uplifting, we should use it or delete it, on the Open.edX website will be in my option be a better place.
We can add integration opportunities and add-on lists based on work we have done in projects, this makes the software as more attractive for decisions makers. I know we have a XBlocks directory list here, but this page is more for insider and IT-centric people then for marketing purposes. We should use the power of all this pieces and our knowledge and try to bring all information together.
