Is there any way I can tell, from my logs, whether a dmoz editor has viewed my site?

Mine did. Under visits from dmoz look for editrev.cgi or something like that.

Yes, don't worry you won't miss their visits .

Thanks! I've actually found that my logs were switched off! (I'll never learn!).
Anyway, I did submit 31st August, so I guess they would have probably looked at it by now.

If the DMOZ editor came to your site directly from the DMOZ Editor Control Panel, then you may see something like the editrev.cgi mentioned above as the referrer.
However, if the editor has two browser windows open while editing, one for the control panel and one for site reviews, then you may not see any referrer (eg. if editor cuts and pastes URL directly into second window).
So just because you don't see any DMOZ referrer in your logs, doesn't mean an editor hasn't visited.
