As far as corruption well i know that it's a normal event ... let's hope that aol get's a clue an either staffs dmoz for real or just give up on the whole idea ...

I believe DMOZ is perceived to be more important than it actually is but this is simply based on my own experiences. It's good to be in DMOZ but you can get to where you want to go without it! Your idea that "Google should handle the directory themselves" may not happen quite like that but I bet that DMOZ is on the agenda now that Google have invested $1 billion in AOL who own DMOZ through Netscape. Those are good points protheus!

I really think that google should handle the directory themselves instead of leaving dmoz to the hands of it's meta editors. Regardless of what we think there will be corruption at any level and this is something that has been explored throughly in the past. The current Dmoz system is not working and should either be changed or just dropped, right now google is the one creating this type of behavior by placing so much importance on dmoz and dmoz close directories ... let me know what you think ...
