Hi Jim,

after over a year of trying to become an editor, I'm now delighted to have become editor of http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Music/Concerts_and_Events/Guides/. I've spent the last couple of days moving my way through the long list of unreviewed stes, with the initial aim of deleting all submissions for websites that are no longer around - shortening the list in this way makes it much easier to identify the real gems that I feel should be listed in the category. However, having an interest in concert and events, there are a few websites that I've come across that I think would fit perfectly in my catgeory (or one of its sub categories). I have just tried to submit a URL, www.gigwise.com through the usual DMOZ submission form, but it doesn't appear on my list of unreviewed sites, which I would have expected - is there a reason for this?

 

Many thanks

Mel

Wow, over a year. That's rather crazy for a site/institution that so desperately/obviously needs people to help out.

It might be true that we can always use more editors at DMOZ but we prefer quality over quantity. And as mellymel has proven learning from your mistakes and improving on your next attempt is possible. Many editors had to try more than once and a lot of them have become highly valued editors.
