Data Contributions

• All of the school data is stored in a simple filesystem data structure under lib/domains.
• The directories are nested to match domain parts, starting with the TLD (Top Level Domain), then SLDs (Second Level Domains) beneath them, etc.
• There's a text file named after the school's domain, nested below the appropriate directory, e.g. strath.ac.uk would be listed as lib/domains/uk/ac/strath.txt.
• The contents of that file are simply the school name, e.g. University of Strathclyde.
• The working example for University of Strathclyde :eyes:
• Here's what the data structure looks like:

[-] lib
    [-] domains
        [-] edu
            [+] harvard
            [+] stanford
        [-] uk
            [-] ac
                [+] strath

Adding a School

Let's say you want to add the Stanford University. We'd simply create a file at lib/domains/edu/stanford.txt containing the text Stanford University. You can safely ignores subdomain like www, cis, whatever. You can see the actual file here.

Updating a School Name

Change the file contents of the appropriate file.

Deleting a School Name

A simple git rm on the approriate file will do the trick.
