I definately think the quality of your contributions is high enough, others can also proofread and give in their experiences, so… By *all* means, go ahead *already*. It doesn´t fit all inside the table directly, I bet, *but* you can use footnotes or further explainations regarding features that need them with a headline per feature below the table and a link to it from within the table.
