The fact there is no named editor does not mean no one edits there or that no editor is available to edit there.
Yes, I agree
. Thanks.

but give it a while to see if it is listed (6 months at a minimum)
FYI, I am not a Owner of this site. I am webmaster doing my duty even on weekend. I just follow what is written,
http://www.dmoz.org/help/submit.html#howlong. Sometime I wonder how many new websites get created (go LIVE) everyday (I have no stat available for this) and how many New Site Suggestion get submitted by owner/webmaster for a category in DMOZ. Why this question come in my mind, as because in few of the Categories, site listings are more then one year old and not a single site being added over there during that period. So looking to this, even, on average, if I assume, 10 sites requested for inclusion in one DMOZ category in a single day, being a Category "Passionate" Expert Editor, it will take hardly 10 miunte to get entire review of a website along with a proper background check. This I have written just with my own interest (a curiosity) to know about how it works.

Continually resuggesting a site will eventually be considered spamming.
I know this before so I keep a gap of 1 month (
http://www.dmoz.org/help/submit.html#howlong) . Still, I will definitely keep this in mind so that I resubmit after 6 months.

Please do not suggest deeplinks of your site, ever (unless specifically asked to do so). Deeplinks (linking to sections of a site) are done only at edtor discretion, not by multiple suggestions of the website owner/webmaster. If an editor believes the site should have content rich sections deeplinked in multiple categories they will internally flag the site for such listings.
Thanks for your Advice. Now its very much clear
This is also one more area which I was curious to know for many years. If you see, ABOUT and just few other popular sites, they allowed to create their own pages in DMOZ. I think the theory goes same like what you explained above, "
done only at editor discretion". Thanks again for the explanation.

By the way,...listed in...URL...Directories
You have rightly pointed out. I took 20 days ONLY to think, what will be the right place for our website in DMOZ. Did lot of searching as well as few research work in both this sites as well as in DMOZ.
Question Come in my mind about our site:
- is it a Search Engine: Never.
- is it a Directory Site (like I referred you two sites): NO. Its wrong to declare a site as "directory site" if it only got many sub domain names a references. ‘About’ and ‘Yahoo’ are two examples, its not a directory site but more then that (a portal ?) and I think, that’s the reason both of them separated at top at http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories/, with its "own space". If you follow, Society > Advice, it is also listed over there at top in the above give URL.
- is it a Internet References/Resources site like http://www.dmoz.org/Reference/Ask_an_Expert/: Somewhat but not really. We do not “only” give answer to a questions but more then that.
- is it a Social Networking Site for Writers (connectivity driven, web 2.0): Yes but not really that. We do not belive in SN or W2 hype. We are working on our site to give it a shape from where society get real help from Experts with little bit of colors (though it is 508), rather then only trying to show them, how modern our site is, using ajax.
- Is it a Accessibility, Section 508, Usability, Web Standard site: Yes but not only that.
- Is it a site which only gives Advice via, Articles, Video, Forum, Directories, Ecommerce: I think so (looking for your advice). This site is being created for society, their problem and giving them a solutions.
As you can see, I am little Confused. Please Advice.
Once again, thanks for your time, I hope you didn’t mind my English. Looking forward to your advice once more.
With Regards.
