Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community

If we're talking engines-only here, I believe there are a few columns on the list do not belong there. I also agree with @Julien-Marrec that this "Partial / User Hook" business is confusing; it's the basis for tools that are not purely engines already appearing on this list, and is the basis I'd use to lobby for other tools -- engines and interfaces alike -- to be added to it.
Many items on the feature list can only be evaluated in a BEM context with a multi-engine approach, which begs the question: what are we really trying to enumerate, here? Because we've got a (growing) list of... "things", that covers physics, mechatronics, physiology, psychology, economics, and voodoo, many of which don't lend themselves to a simple yes or no without some explanation.
Sorry to be the one to whiz in the Wheaties this fine Monday morning, but I'd just like to see this effort end up being useful (not saying that this is easy, either).
