@Edent since Smithereen is a Facebook/VK clone, I'm contemplating adding profile fields for schools, universities and such. The problem is, there needs to be a database of these institutions (and cities) with globally stable IDs. I'm still not sure which one I'll be using. Foursquare published theirs a while ago under a permissive license, then there's also OSM data which needs attribution but I can live with that.
I'm open to suggestions on this.

@grishka @Edent what about using wikidata as the source ID? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q153006
