---- Why doesn't a new and improved competitor to DMOZ arise?

The question is why doesn't a new and improved version arise, and I think the answer is because the model doesn't allow for 'new and improved'. The open volunteer editor directory structure is what it is... changes can be made, but they can only sway the overall structure in small increments before the directory becomes something else.

The model, if made strict enough to keep out junk, will always be too strict for webmasters in general... and as such will be a failure in the eyes of the majority... at least on Webmaster World.
