Comment (by dimadin):
This is something we talked in Serbian community. We would like to have
all events from Serbia listed for every request with Serbian IP or city
name. I guess that some other countries have other requests too.
Although @coreymckrill examples make sense, they do not apply to most
places since everyone has different customs. For example, I guess that
some countries do not want all meetups in country but want all WordCamps
in country, or other want all meetups and want WordCamps in neighboring
countries.
Another thing is that radius from IP location doesn't make sense in most
of the world because it is not correct. For example, I get Belgrade which
is 200km away. That means I will not see meetups from Niš which is 40km
away. You can see this if you look at any site analytics report: visits
are mostly placed in a few large cities even though people visit from all
over the country.
My suggestion is to make several search templates and leave to local
communities to decide which one makes sense in their country. So when API
gets request, it first checks if there is anything for that country, if
not, fallback to default search.
