Hi,

Submitted this URL twice so far to the Computers->Intranets->Software (http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Intranet/) category.

By the way, anyone have any opinions on Inktomi paid inclusion?

Word to the wise: twice is once too many.

The second submittal supplants the first, -- in effect, you go back to the rear of the line (at least for editors that review submittals in chronologial order.)

Over a hundred sites waiting review. It, um, does not look like a fun place for most volunteers. Expect delays.

I only see one editor in that category, and when I click on him/her to send feedback, it says that deicide is not an editor.

If there are no editors for a given category, do the editors of the parent category take on the job of reviewing the sites?

Thanks-

>> do the editors of the parent category take on the job of reviewing the sites?

Yes. And if there are no editors in the parent, the editors in the parent's parent will, and so on.

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Intranet/ doesn't have a named editor at the moment. It will be handled from above.

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Intranet/ has a named editor 'deicide'. The /software/ link on that page is an @link, not a sub-cat. An @link is a link to another category which is somewhere else in the directory, but which could be classed as a sub-cat of this one. @links are used to avoid duplicating categories across the site. This editor isn't able to edit in that @link sub-cat. The @link points to: http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Intranet/ .

If your email to the editor failed then it probably means that the editor has resigned, or their password has timed out, and the clean-up bot hasn't yet updated the category status.

The category http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/ has 7 named editors, and so they will be able handle this from above (note they have a LOT of BIG subcategories under them, not just this little one!).

There is no such category: Computers->Intranets->Software The last part is an @link, so the sub-cat is actually in a different branch.

I just looked at the site and I noticed that it isn't Intranet software, but rather Project Management software.

A much better category would be http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Project_Management/

Thanks, lrp. Certainly, most of the sites submitted there arguably don't go there -- at least, most don't belong in the same or similar categories.
