Dear Warmshowers.org leading commitee,
I really like your website and think it is the best online hospex service on web. I especially appreciate the App -- it did a great job helping me connecting to hosting, while cycling over 12 countries don 3 continents.
Now, as I returned from my travel I seek to start an independent carrier and warming up by doing work for free. I am a member of Bevolunteer.org - another non-profit hospex - and ploted some data on our website before the travel.

Now, I am reviewing the briefly made work there and writing a paper on hospex services. I have found this site displaying WS statistics.

I offer you to create some plots to the numbers. I also would like to receive more depersonalized data from WS for this purpose. You can contact me using pgp over [email protected]

Further, mentioning and including WS data in my scientific publications might increase interest in WS.
