Hello,

I'd like to know the status of Penpals.LA which was submitted to http://dmoz.org/Society/People/Pen_Pals/

Also, I tried to post in the thread for Shwing but it was locked. I notice the site has been added to the directory because it comes up when I do a search, however, when I go to the category it's supposed to be in, it is nowhere to be found.
http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=shwing

Could it possibly still be resolving across the web?

Best Regards...

Penpals.LA is waiting safely in unreviewed in that category with under 50 other sites.

Re Shwing - search is being updated more rapidly than the public pages at the moment.

Good Day,

Out of curiousity, how long does it take for pages to update in the open directory?

Best Regards...

Ordinarily, pretty quickly (less than a day). However, with the hardware upgrades, that feature has been down. Staff is working on fixing it; we don't know how soon it'll be fixed.

Note that the RDF dump (which is really the important thing) hasn't been subject to this delay this month.

Hello pnm,

Thanks for responding. Pardon my ignorance but what is the RDF dump and is there a way to view it?

Best Regards...

It's the dump of all the ODP data -- the primary source used by downstream users.

See http://rdf.dmoz.org/ (or http://dmoz.org/about.html )

But I would advice not to download it if you don't really want to use it. Would be a waste of bandwidth ;-)

Hello windharp,

I'll certainly pass on downloading and simply wait until the pages propagate or do whatever they need to do.

Thanks...

Good Day!

just checking to see if there has been any progress with Penpals.LA

It's been a month and I've still got my fingers crossed.

Best Regards...

We ask that you wait "at least a month". The last check was August 17.
