Actually, what I meant was, adding to the list of "type" of team. If you are the administrator of a team, you can select a "type".

The current choices are:
Company
Primary School
Secondary School
Junior College
University or Department
Government agency

My idea was to to add "Geographic region" since it's sort of generic and might apply to many current unclassified teams. An alternative might be "Location".

Other type you might add: "Interest Group" or "Organization"

I admit I'm not a coding expert, but I wouldn't think that would take much effort to add in. I could be wrong.

I am sure that there are a lot of important high-priority things going on at WCG. Nevertheless, less critical things like this happen all the time too. Like Facebook and Twitter apps, for instance. Not that I'm not good with that, but, they aren't all so critical either.

I do not understand these constraints except if they are historical. But there are new versions of BOINC so my point here is that apart from some standard predefined classes for team Types and also for Device configurations were only 4 types are possible, there should be the possibility to have types User Defined. It is up to the user to name them. The list of types will increase as you will have multitudes of them.
Managing is not difficult even if you have thousands of them. Just give the possibility to list and search for them or add one. In this way others may use them if convenient.
But I know that IT resources are very limited and so I can very well live happily with what we have.

Thank you, that would do nicely!
