After Cassandra will the directory update?

What is the normal cycle of the Google directory?

Will it up date his month, or do they usualy leave it for a couple of months?

The Google directory used to update about once per month using the RDF dump from the ODP.

This did stop for a few months when the ODP was unable to produce a valid RDF dump. The ODP RDF dump has been produced weekly since early February, so I don't see any reason why Google cannot return to the old monthly schedule.

Google takes the RDF dump but how do other search engines, above all Ink and Fast, deal with dmoz, take the dump or normal spidering?

[directory-ex.google.com...] have been down (Not the ip, but the directory) for a few days, a bit strange.
