---- DMOZ Submission Review Delays and Automating "Community" Approvals


Webwork - 5:37 pm on Dec 10, 2006 (gmt 0)


One of the consistent gripes that has appeared in this forum takes the form of "I applied months ago . . . "

There is always an explanation or response.

Yet, I pause to wonder: Is there the possibility of a better way of processing submissions AND is that better way going to be programmed into the new (hopefully) release of the ODP?

Why not default submissions to approval and listing after 60-90 days?

Why not allow default listings to appear, after that time, with a marking that it "has not been reviewed"?

Why not allow "approved at large reviewers" to vote on default listings, which will automatically throw them back into the queue if enough at large reviews confirm that either a) the website is NOT what it purports to be; or, b) it doesn't fit in the category?

Isn't it time to move towards a Web 2.0 model of listings?
