Hi,
Sean has left the following comment at Design a "Commercial CAD Comparison"
diagram http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/7974231:
patience
While some reviews go very quickly, reviews can actually take up to 36
hours so you'll have to be patient. See the mailing list for a discussion
about what to do while you're "waiting".
That said, this task needs more work...
There are several problems with the "diagram" the first being that it's not
really a diagram but rather a collection of graphs. Of those graphs, only
the first one is useful. Bar charts are an ineffective way to showcase
yes/no comparisons (a simple list and/or checkbox would be better). The
license chart is just wrong (we're LGPL+BSD, FreeCAD's status is
questionable). The price chart is disjoint and subjective -- it should be
high->low->free or free->low->high, but you don't define those terms. Even
if you did, I'm not sure that's a useful comparison given the limited
coverage of features.
This is more along the lines of what is expected:

Notice that there's a huge variety there, but most are "visually
interesting and informative" regardless of their format. In terms of the
task description, the frequent question is how we compare with the five
major CAD systems -- the focus should have been on those, not the five
random ones you selected.. :)
Features to compare might be single seat cost, source code availability,
number of supported file extensions (which you got), NURBS support, CSG
support, mac/windows/linux/solaris/bsd support (you partially have), etc.
