You might try HOSPEX-L (Hospitality Exchange/Homestays). This is
a standard listserv at PLEARN and is the broadcast channel for
HOSPEX@PLEARN, which is a homestay exchange database only. You
need to fill out a form before getting listed.
The listowner is Wojtek Sylwestrzak (wojsyl@appli.mimuw.edu.pl)
If anybody has used this, I would be interested in your
experiences.

Sorry I can't help you on chapter and verse, but perhaps you are
aware of the "Index" in Nabokov's _Pale Fire_ poem/novel/commentary
thingie, in which one listing (a small sub-circle of the solipsistic
universe of the work as a whole) plays the same game. At the moment
I can't recall (and it's packed away) which entry.
Similarly, the entry "self-reference" in the witty and intelligent
"The New Hacker's Dictionary," (Eric Raymond, ed., MIT, 1991), and
it's on-line (and larger) version, the "Jargon File 2.9.9" from April 1992
(the most recent version, I think).
Eric Raymond's address (and he can tell you where FTP sites are for
the file) is eric@snark.thyrsus.com.
