I understand that you do not get into details of declined appliations here, but I do not understand the reason why my application was rejected from the email I received.
This is the reply I received:
Re: Open Directory application - eugenoprea Request 201003105553
Dear Eugen Oprea,
Thank you for your interest in becoming an Open Directory Project editor!
Although we would like you to join us as a volunteer editor, you have
chosen a category that is already well represented, or is broader than
we typically assign to a new editor. We would encourage you to re-apply
for a category that has fewer editors or is smaller in scope, in order
to increase your chances of being accepted.
Feel free to reapply by submitting an application in another area.
If you wish to re-apply, you must fill out another application.
Please do not reply to this email.
Regards,
The Open Directory Project

As you can see from this email, the reason is: "you have chosen a category that is already well represented, or is broader than we typically assign to a new editor".
The category I applied for is this one:
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Internet/Site_Management/Log_Analysis/Commercial/
...which doesn't have any editors currently and encourage visitors to "Volunteer to edit this category"
So if the category doesn't have any editors, why my application was rejected with the grounds that the category "is already well represented"?
Is this the real reason why my application was rejected?
Thank you for you replies.
