American Academy in Tbilisi - removed from directory in July
Adult Education Association of Georgia - removed, looking for new url
International Black Sea University - site works (very slowly), both listings OK
Contemporary Georgian Art: Kakhaber Donadze - removed
New Art Union - was working as recently as 15Nov, left in place for now in case it returns
Community Connections Program - new url found
Economists Union of Georgia - removed
Assistance Georgia - works for me
Poti Central Library - removed
National Security Council of Georgia - deleted
Georgian Association of Experts in Religious Studies - removed
Human Rights Information and Documentation Center - new url found
Human Rights Online - removed
International Association of Young Diplomats - changed to old working url
Internet Access and Training Program in Georgia (IATP) - removed (note this url is also responsible for many of the other errors which it used to host)
Bigvava, Nino - was working as recently as 13 November, left listed for now
Because of the way that Regional editing works, I'd suggest you start by appplying for one of the Localities http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/Georgia/Localities - obviously Tbilsi is the only one with many listings at present, but you should be able to find more *English language* (or bi lingual) sites for the others with your local knowledge
<added>
please read the editing guideline before applying http://www.dmoz.org/guidelines/ , especially the selection and description pages
</added>
Contrary to an oft voiced opinion, editing isn't about listing suggested sites, but about building categories of information. You can get the urls to list from anywhere - local newspaper, off the side of a bus, from TV ads, and directly add them as an editor. (you can suggest them as a non-editor, but then you have to wait for someone to volunteer to edit there)

It appears that there are few editors interested in building the categories for Georgia. If you think they can be improved, and have the time and ability to edit without favouring one site over another, I'd suggest you become an editor.

Dont see any reason why this site to be moved in cats you offered - and probably more experienced editor with better english will explain you exactly why.
Edit: Sorry, have look at wrong site, not the one you have pointed; so there are reasons this site to be moved

After this was brought to my attention...
"You will see links occasionally to http://research.dmoz.org/~gti96/ddp/ which is not currently accessable for anyone. Please just ignore them for now. We hope to have access to that server, or a replacement version, online in the future, but we have no control over when that may happen."
...I realized that everything below is irrelevant. Sorry about that = (.

Hello,
I found a broken link in the Editor Resource Zone.
The broken link is:
http://research.dmoz.org/~gti96/ddp/
The error message is:
It is right at the top of the Editor Resource Zone page and it is supposed to go to the DMOZ Documentation Project (Unofficial).
Hope this helps!
EDIT: Found another one as I was reading Editorial Style Guidelines. All the way at the bottom of the page.
The broken link is: http://research.dmoz.org/~gti96/ddp/07001/
The error message is:
It is supposed to go to "more information about cooling sites."
EDIT2: Another broken like in the Subcategories section. Near the bottom of the page.
The broken link: http://research.dmoz.org/~gti96/ddp/01006/
Text that contains the link: Complex changes such as those affecting hierarchy and ontology should be discussed and agreed upon by the editing community. Follow these tips and advice when reorganising category hierarchies: Reorganising Categories.

Thanks for reporting, but we are aware of those broken links on dmoz.org, and they will be taken care of.
Generally it´s not necessary to report broken links on the dmoz.org domain here.

A post in another section mentions four sites that need to be looked at:
http://www.resource-zone.com/forum/showpost.php?p=250775&postcount=8
I'd jump on them but I am at work and ODP-related multitasking is a no-no.
