[Bug 1518796] [NEW] Make auto-generated institution names based on display name

 

Public bug reported:

This is a follow-up from Bug 1394812. We've now, finally, hidden away
the "institution name" database field from the user. But the intitution
names we're auto-generating are random alphabetic strings. I'd prefer to
make them based on the display name of the institution at the time of
its creation. For instance, "University of Nevada, Reno" could become
"universityofnevadareno".
