All,
First, let me say hello! I've used DMOZ for a while and I finally got around to making a forum account. Second, I have a question about the following guideline:
How does the suggested bound of 100 websites apply to the situation described below?
In this category: Computers: Programming: FAQs, Help, and Tutorials (30) there are only 30 sites, which is well within the suggested bound of 100 sites. However, that category is linked to this category: Computers: Programming: Languages: Java: FAQs, Help, and Tutorials (117)
I would assume that the 100 site rule applies to the sites in a particular category as well as those in any subcategories. Does it apply to linked categories like the one mentioned above? Better still, exactly how many sites would an editor in the category Computers: Programming: FAQs, Help, and Tutorials (30) be in charge of?
Also, a side note. I find it very difficult to tell if Computers: Programming: FAQs, Help, and Tutorials (30) has any subcategories because all the linked categories are in a different branch of the Computer Category (i.e. Languages).
I hope I was able to make that clear enough. If not, just let me know!
Tim
P.S. Apologies in advance if this is listed somewhere in the documentation. I gave the help and editor sections a look through but nothing popped out at me.

"Your chances of becoming an editor are greater if you apply for a small, underdeveloped category to start (generally categories with less than 100 sites)."
