Ok, heres a list of the teams that I've identified so far from posting, mostly here. A question mark indicates uncertainty (for example, I'm unsure whether the NERDS have applied other than I vaguely remember Jeff writing that they had thrown their hats in).

If you're not on the list, add yourselves!
