>Dep[ends on what you viewed the ODP as - a link farm or an orgaisation of the world's information. With the latter, Wikipedia is way better.

The Wikipedia people see themselves as carefully and deliberately NOT competing with the ODP -- and, I understand, have recently modified their guidelines to make that more explicit. Like McDonald's and Citibank, "they don't sell burgers and we don't cash checks."

WP is a SUMMARY of information, the ODP is an INDEX of information SOURCES. They are quite different things, and just because I volunteer on only one of them, doesn't mean I don't highly respect the other one. (Some people are active in both.)
