The map is good, but not good enough till it doesn't know from where you are.
But you, so you can zoom in with your mouse wheel or by clicking and dragging the map. You get to see exactly how many events are happening around your place to a precision any listing cannot give you (if you have 10 events in the same city, the listing is definitely not useful). You also have to consider that right now we have about "only" 200 teams registered, but by mid September when people (visitors) are going to look for an event we will have somewhere between 800 and 1000 teams (I hope at least). A page with 100 lines is not useful neither (i'm taking 100 lines considering how fast Indian teams are registering. With this kind of popularity it could as well be more. China had 86 teams last year FWIW).
2. You can edit the country page to list all the teams pages under India (if you cannot, I can... ;-) )
True but it shouldn't be needed. What I was talking about is having some kind of automation. On mediawiki this happens automatically.
For the reason stated above we believe it should be automatic but a decision from each teams/country. This is a wiki and you can edit it by yourself. You can create a template for your country and make sure people use it. We're a community and you can make decisions for your area. Based on the issues we're having this year (maintenance wise for example) and what people do with the wiki, we'll built next year system to incorporate those necessary features.

I don't understand this point. The Bangalore page can be accessed by going directly to (without the extra highlight parameters): http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/2010/Asia/India/Bangalore
Yup. For some reason it didn't work that day. Now it does. Glad you got your two issues working.
