        Hey Mehmet,

        Thanks for putting together this resource for the community.

        Can you expand on some of these line items?  I'm at a bit of a
loss as to how a community funded, crowd-sourced service likes this
needs 18% of its budget allocated to travel.

        What am I missing?

        Thanks!
