Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be in a public spreadsheet like Pierre’s:
http://www.editgrid.com/user/pplandry/List_of_Outliners

However, rather than having a column for every feature (which would create too many columns), we could have columns only for a limited number of distinguishing features, i.e. features that no other outliner/PIM has. E.g. “Unique feature 1,” “Unique feature 2,” etc. Maybe max. 3 to 5 (to keep it manageable)? The final column could be a link to an individual thread on this forum, where the given software has been discussed.
