DMOZ is shrinking because there are less and less editors each day and if that wasn't enough long time dedicated editors are getting removed for not following Meta editors party line and actually trying to fix DMOZ by removing pedophile websites which somehow managed to stay listed for years! >:-(

If you want extreme case of how bad state of DMOZ is Slovenian language category has only 876 links at the same time Slovenian Wikipedia is closing to 50000 articles being 27th largest wiki in the World! There are probably more links on Wikipedia then in DMOZ! Directory of Slovenian websites najdi.si has 57612 links! It is interesting how wikipedia has no problem in digging up enough editors to write 50k articles while at the same time there is nobody at DMOZ?

One reason for this is that there are few metas which understand anything more then English so World categories are neglected because unwritten DMOZ rule that it is better to have dead category then risk possible spammers getting in. :-(
