I tried to add my school, but it says my school already exists. On the main page, my school isn't listed and there is no "+Join" link on any of the schools. WTF?

I don't mean to limit it to us schools only, I just threw this together last Saturday. How do you suggest I make this work for all hackers at all schools?

Unfortunately, not all countries have a standard TLD for schools. I think the only way around it is with a whitelist of domains, but I'm not sure where the list would come from. Maybe someone has created it already? Either that, or use the facebook API.
