Yes
Tables in Wiki's are weird.
The problem for me is I do not have any MSO copies to deal with. I
already used my one trial of MSO-2010 to do some conversions from
complex .docx files to the standard .doc files. I did this last years
before LO ever came out. What we need is someone with both LO and MSO
experience, and software, to fill in the check list comparisons people
come up with.
I do not use LO or MSO 2003 [when I had it] heavily or with business
needs and business functions. I do more simple documents over complex
ones. I do little with Calc or Impress, and almost no work with Draw.
So I could not help with that either. We need people who use each
module to their limits, or at least with a large number of common functions.
I am not that type of user anymore.

Hi :)
It is possible to use the existing resource and just add to it. WIki's are
fairly easy to edit although tables are a bit weird.

What I really was thinking about is a more detailed comparison list.
This list would have things like
read/write .docx files
able to use JPEG 2000 image files
edits PDF files
list of popular formal types
list of transition effects for Impress vs PowerPoint
and things like that for each module of LO vs MSO and other office packages.
Give details of the capabilities of LO and what it is comparing to. The lists
in the link below is not detailed enough. Also it states there is not image
viewer for LO. I thought Draw was a viewer and editor.
It is nice to have some simple package comparisons, but more and more users are
concerned with specific details about it LO or any other free package can do
the specific type of work they need to do. That include file types for
read/writing, importing of various image files, formulas and macros, etc.,
etc.. This list would show that LO exports to PDF directly, which MSO did not
do the last time I used it.
The idea of cross platform use - Windows, Mac, Linux OSs - is nice, but since
more people will be concerned with Windows-only operation, it needs lists of
operation functions, and other things that is needed by their day to day work
needs. Specifics.
The linked list is a start, but having a side by side function comparison
between Writer and Word, Calc and Excel, etc., is needed.

I still think we need a check list chart comparing LO with all of the
other open-source office suites, plus MS Office.
I'd include Google Docs in that since it is getting more and more use,
especially the spreadsheet because of the convenience of collaboration.
