Newbie question about kmeta / meta
by Guest awl-

I notice there are editors, editalls, catmv and meta. I understand an editall is a "monster editor" who can access all cats and edit, a catmv can presumably move categories around (?) and a meta can do all of these functions plus add new editors. I also see some people have a title of kmeta. What's the deal with kmetas ? What does it mean ?

chefmoz questions...

I know http://chefmoz.dmoz.org is not directly related but I know a few editors on DMOZ are on Chef Moz, so I ask this question: Any guidelines or tips other then what is listed on the site to become an editor that you can suggest? How is it different then DMOZ? Is there a un-official Chef Moz hang-out to find more information for Chef Moz editors and users? I've already applied (still waiting) but I'm just bringing this up for other people that are going through the same process. (Nothing came up in a forum search) ;-) Isaac Bentley

...I submitted a client's site to ODP back in November or December, and I can't remember exactly which category I put them in. <img src="/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" /> They're a business consultant, who's running a forum to discuss the consulting industry. Is there any way I can find out where they were submitted so I can find out the status?

Are the lizards from an official dmoz rep or do editors make them and put them in their cats? I want to have a little carpenter lizard when I grow up /images/icons/tongue.gif Angela

Do we want or need a forum to critique sites? 1 2

Surely some of you have noticed that there have been a few threads running amok in the "site submission status" forum. Someone asks about their site, someone else answers that it's still waiting or whatever and then, occasionally, someone makes a really great comment about how the site does/doesn't seem spammy or unoriginal in one way or another. At that point the original poster responds to the criticism and ... and ... and ... you get the idea. These threads tend not to be flame-fests, but they get totally away from the purpose of that forum. Do we need or want to set up a forum for folks to _ask_ for criticism of their site and whether or not it would be appropri…

Submitted a site on the 26th nov, it was looked at less than 24 hours later by an Editor, and today it is in the Dmoz directory. And it was submitted to a cat that has no editor! Thank you very much to the Dmoz Editor (whoever you are) who cleaned up that particular Cat <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hello! Firs to all, my name is Robby and I am 17 years of age and proud to be a part of the ODP Forums! This is a very nice forum the OPD has here, and I am surely glad that I have found it. I just wanted to drop by and just say hello. I will be posting out here every now and then, so you will probably be seeing me around. I also wanted to take the time to compliment all of the editors, creators, and visitors who work hard to make the ODP what it is. Truly, it is a great directory and I hope it continues to grow with quality websites! So, my encouragements go out to all of you! Thanks and See You Around!

New Server
by Guest -- 0 replies

You should be hitting the new server by now. I had to take the other server offline to find the problem with drives in the array being marked offline. This server is a twin to the other one except it has 2 36 Gig IBM 15k rpm scsi drives connected to the Adaptec onboard scsi controller. I don't trust using the Mylex raid controller until I can find what the problem is. Performance should be the same. If you have any problems post to this thread so I can troubleshoot them. This server hasn't been online for a while so there might be some quirks.

meta - editor - editall etc
by Guest burt- 3 replies

Hello Been reading a lot in here over the past couple of days, and I'm wondering what these titles signify. I'm aware that it is the 'Editors' rank within ODP, but is there a list anywhere of the different grades ? Looked in the FAQ for the board but nothing there.. I assume (top to bottom) : meta editall (but how is this different to editall/catmv) editor Is there any more ? Whats the highest rank one can attain ? Thanks.

Server Switch
by Guest -- 1 reply

I had 2 hard drives in the raid 5 array die on me. I was able to get a backup of the db before the second one died. I moved the site over to another server and in the process might have lost a post or 2. Let me know if there are any problems. The server we are on now is Windows Advanced Server and I am still working on the configuration of IIS. Everything seems to be running smoothly, but, since I am accessing from the network the server is on I wouldn't have a problem because I have admin privs on the network as well as the server. Please let me know if you have any problems.

Why no ODP Chat?

Forums or bulletin boards serve their purposes as question & answer and archives. But, why is there no chat for ODP editors? Seems it's important enough to merit a chat room. Also, this might be a way for ODPers to get to know eachother, better.
