Some differences are already in the visa page,

1. The e-Conference visa is only valid for 30 days. If you plan on 
staying for more than 30 days in India for tourism, you will have to 
apply for regular conference visa which can combine tourism for up to 6 
months along with attending the conference.

2. We suggest you apply for the e-Conference visa instead of the tourist 
visa for your visit to India for DebConf23.

This links to https://www.mha.gov.in/PDF_Other/ForeigD-FAQ-TVisa280710.pdf

which has
Q.5 What activities are permissible on ‘Tourist’ Visa?
Ans.: Tourist Visa is granted for visiting India for recreations, sight 
seeing, casual visit to meet friends and relatives etc. No other 
activity is permissible on a Tourist Visa.

Feel free to add it to FAQ.

Also reminder to people who have not yet sent their passport details to 
send it soon.

Out of 124 people who indicated they need a visa, we have received 
details from 68 and 4 people indicated they don't need or plan to attend.
