Yes, totally agreed.

As you might have heard, Bre and me were working on a publication about a
bunch of the hackerspaces that are featured on the site (as in: everyone who
got back to our mail), and we have the final pdf version (Bre is reading
over it atm for the very, very, VERY last time ;) - so this might be
included in a press mailing (though it's pretty insanely huge).

Also, right now as I write these lines Georgyo has helped me implement some
new statistic graphs of hackerspaces.org and when and where hackerspaces
were founded... the new feature will be released early by tomorrow I
believe, as I want to reference it at Jens' and my talk at re:publica in
Berlin, Germany.
Including this dataset will give an additional plus of information I
believe.

Hack on,
