Continuing this thread of discussion, I would think that as the list grows, it will be harder and harder to scroll and search. Perhaps, a filtering mechanism could help based on what spec implementation is of interest to the reader, or as Samit suggests - what consumers have been validated for, etc ... Filtering as a feature on the page would be useful as this page expands rapidly to match the ecosystem.
I also like the concept of somehow providing a process/capability for an implementer to provide a high level description of their solution that clearly indicates how OSLC is in play on the page itself or as a sub-page. This would make this page a one-stop shop for quick perusal and identification without multiple to/fro navigation outside of the site to quickly review the entry. Even cooler if the site provided a linked data story for each of these entries (perhaps an RDF form of the data on the pages describing the implementation and this complete list of implementations ;-)) Is this intended to be the beginnings of a OSLC marketplace? Would be ideal for OSLC implementers to "want" to have a presence on this page over time as a key and popular "marketing" channel for their solution.

For example, a consumer could list what providers have been tested with the implementation. Maybe a column like "Integrations validated / supported".
