It would be helpful if that page listed licenses and minimum es
target versions (es5? es3?)
Yes, I was thinking of flagging at least commercial vs free tools at
some point (*). If I receive concrete information about target ES
versions for transpilers, I will add that, too (though that kind of
detail tends to go stale quickly). Either email me, or open a github
issue, with any updates to the information on that page.
The whole page depends on what information implementers or
users provide. The more implementers can be convinced to join
at least one of es-discuss or js-tools *and talk about their work*,
the more information we'll have;-)

(*) I am always surprised to see attempts with commercial
tools for developers (as opposed to commercial support/service
for free tools, or commercial tools for non-developers).

transpilers are not just a useful way of communicating ES6
development (avoiding surprised audiences later [*]), they also provide relief for those who keep
reading here about new features that they dearly would like to use.
On top of that, the TypeScript discussion feeds give an early
idea of how JS coders out there are going to react to ES6
features, as well as the kind of tweaking that might be needed
to tune features to practice (or developer expectations to the
realities of features as spec-ed).
I've just updated the "Language extensions" category in the
js-tools mailing list resources
http://clausreinke.github.com/js-tools/resources.html#group:language-extensions
This typically lists transpilers from ES.future to ES.now, including
experimental, under discussion, and agreed on features. I've also
included Mozilla's new macros project, but won't include general
X2JS compilers (there is a separate list for those).
If there are any missing (or outdated) entries, could you please let me know? Not everyone knows
all the projects you may know about, and it would be good to have them listed in one place.
Thanks,
Claus
