For me differentiate means to find the provider that is the most suitable for the user.
Not in the sense that some are overall better and some are overall worse.
I have noticed for example that the order of the providers is randomized, specifically in order to avoid the top ones getting more contacts. For me this is positive.
At the end of my post I wrote that if we have a common list of services that are stated in the same place inside every providers div, then I could easily create a javascript filter, if that is desired.
However I think it will be useful even without the filter: the visitor can scan the provider much faster and decide if the provider provides the service they are looking for.
I hope some more providers will see this topic and comment.

Did you manage to find a provider using this criteria? I’m wondering if it will make sense for you to distingish a service provider for it’s experience (or contribution amount) or not?
It took me 9 years to decide I want tryton. Not at all efficient. After 9 years I could afford to spend a few days to research each provider on discuss, on bugs, all over the place and decide which one is best for me.
In the donations-for-the-foundation topic: I completely agree with the opinion that the foundation should remain free and open, and partners should not receive benefits based on how much they pay, if that was the question.
But again, my opinion does not matter so much, I think what matters more is a constructive discussion.
