I want to correct an earlier post of mine - true at the time, but things have changed. I have found out that DMOZ had a true, critical failure in the fall. Although they were not able to put in new sites, they were able to staticly post the public pages they did have. In my own case, I had applied to edit many months ago, and once the site was up and running again, my application was approved and I have insight into the current operations - I can tell you that there are many, many new editors, all of whom are excited to be involved and are actively entering valid sites. The guidelines provide that they include sites that enhance the websurfer's experience through content and credibility, and I can tell you they (we!) are doing that actively now. girlfriday@[Edited by Mod Webnauts.
