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 👀
  • 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.

Refer the stoplist

Please do not suggest to add domains from the stoplist. They're banned for the reason. The list currently looks like follows

  • si.edu - anyone could register a domain there
  • america.edu - anyone could register a domain there
  • californiacolleges.edu - anyone could register e-mail account there
  • maricopa.edu - anyone could register e-mail account there
  • cet.edu - this one's best. It could forward e-mails to your gmail.com even without registration. Cool.
  • australia.edu - anyone could register e-mail account there

We intentionally exclude alumni domains (like john.smith@alumni.stanford.edu) as well.
