Hello,
I have recently sent my application to be an editor. Today I went to the DMOZ home page, and clicked the 'editor login' link (top-right). I didn't actually want to log in, I just thought it might take me to a page with more information. The login pop-up appeared, and since I don't yet have a username/password, I clicked cancel. It took me to a 'Login Incorrect' page. No mystery so far! Then it said 'If you are not an editor, we would like to invite you to become one' and a bit further down the page are these 2 links :
'More about the Open Directory Project' which links to
http://editors.dmoz.org/about.html
and 'Open Directory home page' which links to
http://editors.dmoz.org/
Notice that both those links start with editors.dmoz, and that subdomain is password protected so both the links require passwords to access, even though the links are meant for people who are not yet editors...
Sorry for the long-winded explanation, just thought I should explain exactly how I came to be on that page...
ps. It's only been 4 days since submitting my editor application so I certainly can't ask for a status check. However I've already found these 2 site errors, and in my editor application I also reported a spelling error on one of the application pages, so maybe if someone has some spare time and feels like reviewing my application so I can get to work
, here's my details :
