Where exactly would you like to put it?

That sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe we could put it as a
suggestion somewhere in the "how to start a loco" guide?

I agree it'd be nice to have some explanatory text on the main page. Can
somebody file a bug with some suggestion for a piece of text?

Well, in some cases it might need a bit of thinking to come up with
something that is more revealing than, just as an example, 'ubuntu-fr',
but I'm sure we can get this right.

Does the search filter on country names of the team?

Is there a bug for it?

Is there a bug for the broken event search?

It's always been part of the LoCoTeamsList wiki page. I encourage to
have a debate about the purpose and sense of this. Until a conclusion is
reached I wouldn't change anything in the LoCo Directory though.

Can somebody file bugs for this?

Have a great day,
