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


Webwork - 3:44 pm on Jul 23, 2007 (gmt 0)


Folks, we already know "how bad DMOZ is", so please - for the purpose of this thread - lets set that issue aside and keep the focus on this: Accepting that DMOZ is so bad, yet so important that people complain about DMOZ instead of simply walking away, why then hasn't some group take on the job of building a better DMOZ?

What would it take?

What's missing?

If DMOZ is valuable enough to get as much attention as it does - and it does, negative or otherwise - what's stopping the aggrieved from building their own version of The ODP?

Maybe it's going to happen . . some day?

Maybe the founders of Wikipedia are already working on it?

Piece of cake, right?
