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?

email me (jtame2@illinois.edu) with your full e-mail and i can add it in, at least until i figure out what's wrong with in_array.

Cool, but .edu is almost exclusively used by U.S. schools only. If you whitelist @uwaterloo.ca, I know that there are a few uwaterloo students on HN.

Indeed, my university (in Australia) uses email@uts.edu.au, which is invalid. Interesting idea though - I like the upfront note/forethought about the cache settings.

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?

Matching *.ac.?? will enable a lot of European schools and universities. Not all cctlds have the .ac second-level domain though. Some countries have 3-letter second-level domains, so I have no idea whether .edu.[CC] exists anywhere.

Can I view the schools without logging in?

It looks like you can still view their pages. For example the people above wanting to view NYU: http://www.hndir.com/index/school/view/14

It's now fixed. I get sent to the home page when I'm not logged in.
