Even a cursory review of

What *should* be is a standardised format, upheld by those who know what
they are doing when they evaluate, or introduce an application here.

This would be something similar to the following example template.

Application Evaluation
======================
Name:
Function:
Status [Beta/Other]:
Requires [JVM/Other]:
Special Attributes:
Features Lacking:
Tested [Y/N]:
OS Used:
Size:
Memory Consumption:
Resource Consumption [1-10]:
Stability Score [1-10]:
Personal Overall Score [1-10]:
Comments:

This would be most useful, could be collaborative and should be as
detailed as possible.

It would also be of value to developers.

Shouldn't that be "As thick as two short planks."

You know the ones that are two inches wide, one inch long and many
feet in thickness.
