If you read the following post in 'Announcements': http://www.resource-zone.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=announce&Number=5585&view=collapsed it details how to have your 'status' here changed from 'Member' to 'Editor'. Once you are set as 'Editor' you will then be able to access the 'Editor Hangout'.
In there we detail any problems that may affect editors only. For example, this weekend ODP had a few 'hiccups' regarding editor authentication (i.e. no editors could login at all for hours on end!) - but this did not affect the 'public side' of ODP. Therefore the matter was discussed in the 'Editor Hangout' where loads of concerned editors gathered and ODP staff member autumn assured us that she was working on the problem and she even let us know an ETA for a fix and when it was fixed.
