Hi, congratulations! I was following the map and stats page in the last months and thought the pace of new contributions was astounding. Btw, I spend way too much part of my free time watching the map: Places I've been, places I'd like to visit some time and also places I never thought they would turn blue, like somewhere in the Sahara. Also, Iran has always been at the forefront of the blues in the region. I had never expected that.
A month from now, MLS will likely have more cells collected than OpenCellID: https://location.services.mozilla.com/stats Could you expose more of those stats on the website, please? I was especially interested in the cell overlap of OpenCellID and MLS. Very cool that it is so small! What is the battery impact if the MLS contribution is enabled in Firefox? I could tell people about activating it if I were convinced it does not hurt their battery.
