New listings/Categories

Has Dmoz ever done listings pages or alike that it shows newly included sites or new categories/areas etc that are introduced a little like the new post in the forums?

No. It's not as great a need as it might be for some other sites, since dmoz publishes the RDF -- so ANYONE can pick up the whole ball and perform any kind of analysis they wish (then, if they wish, publish the analysis.)

If you see a need, you're welcome to download the RDF and try your hand at fulfilling it.

Thanks Is there a part that you can download the new listings or is it the entire directory that has to be downloaded ... were do you download it

It's the entire directory, from which (if you write a program to compare it to last week's entire directory) you can find the new listings.

I should warn you that it's not a trivial exercise, I did it at one time, and was able to track changes from week to week, but I gave up as it was too time consuming. If I remember correctly, you can't simply compare to the previous week, as it may not be a new listing, but could be a change in category, or a site that was temporarily delisted and then put back in.
