New Directory

Is this a new directory or is it something off of domoz?

I think it is for a way for domoz to handle all the bandwith.
Any sugestions?

I would say it is a site demonstrating a script that is used to gather odp data, and not directly ascosiated with the ODP.

There are loads of similar programs available from places such as hotscripts.

Just had a look at the directory and found that the category United Kingdom does not have a sub-category Scotland! Strange :()

I've never seen the site before, but it belongs to an American meta.

Open-site.org started in order to expand the concept of DMOZ. Open Directory Project stores only one type of content: links. Open-site stores any type of content, not just links.

While it's not hosted by Netscape, the site has a strong connection with DMOZ, been inspired by it, and some DMOZ editors are also active at this project.

Open-site does not use ODP data at this point, but in the future we might implement such a thing, if it proves useful.

Open-site is still at its beginning, so it does not have the comprehensivity that it will be available in the future. Anybody that wants to improve things is welcomed to join. However, we currently do not accept ODP ex-editors. When an editor is removed from ODP, it is also removed/banned from Open-site.

>> it belongs to an American meta <<

The site belongs to the Open-site editorial community, that works every day at its improvement. Community management functions are performed by those listed at:

[open-site.org...]

More information available at [open-site.org...] .

The site is hosted by mjflick and supported financially from his funds. Programming is done using the Open Source model, and the code is available at [open-site.org...] .

I misspoke (or the cyber equivalent).

I should have said, "It is registered to an American meta."
