Please could you point the issues you see there?
The information published in the OFBiz website is official and must be endorsed
and approved by the OFBiz PMC before its publication.
The information in the Wiki is not; specifically, we do not have clear rules that govern the
"users" and "providers" list: I can add/move my company to the top, someone could decide
that only companies with committers can appear there (I see now that there are several companies in the page
that mention the term "contributors" even if this is not a role assigned by the OFBiz PMC), I see
links to external sites that the ASF is monitoring for violations to the ASF and OFBiz trademarks, in general
I see pages that are a mess and clearly they can't be officially endorsed by the project.
Having links to external sites monitored for violations by the ASF is
clearly an issue which prevents to endorse these pages and link them
from the main site.
Some time ago, I added a note on top of the
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+Service+Providers
page
<<We (OFBiz committers) keep an eye on this list in order to keep
independent committers and companies with committer(s) at the top of the
list. Else no order is specifically required so far (we will certainly
alphabetically order the lists later), thank you>>
Actually, though I wrote "We (OFBiz committers)" it was my own decision
to monitor and keep this page as clean as possible. Contributor is
indeed not an official role. It was added by someone and I decided to
keep the idea. Because it allows to separate contributors from
committers in this column.
Maybe the title of the column is not clear?
Or maybe, as it was before, we should keep only PMC members (IIRW,
Adrian also added the PMC member role in this list and I followed) and
committers in this list?
I thought about adding a new column for contributors, but decided it
was a bit too much, this could be done also, for the sake of separating
concerns.

I believe we should trust the community and if there are issues on these pages
we should fix those issues, this is our duty.
It is good to allocate some space to the community to freely publish this kind
of information, but this doesn't mean that the PMC has to endorse them or fix
them.
