Couchsurfing Web Widget
The CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.
This page is a Request for Enhancement. It is a draft. You are encouraged to find support for it, etc.
After the enhancement has been clearly articulated, and all affected portions of the website have been identified, you may try to persuade a developer to implement it. After implementation it will be deployed somewhere, but not necessarily to the main website.
A Web widget is a portable chunk of code that can be embedded within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user, for example in her blog or in her myspace page. A widely present example is the Flickr Badge which allows to include in your blog some of your last photos. See more example on the Wikipedia page and to get an idea the web widgets offered by google or the one offered by LybraryThing.
