DMOZ has now fully recovered from the enormous crash, as you can now suggest your own sites for the directory again! So feel free to go in there and add your URL’s :).
Update: not completely recovered, you still can’t apply to become an editor.
You can add your URL’s to DMOZ again!

Great news.
Apparently they lost all their review data when the crash happened, so if you submit your sites now, they go to the front of the new queue!
I’m heading right over there to submit a few sites.
Yeah, very true, and I can know ;)
Are you an editor there?
yeah, on some Dutch regional categories and in a few sub categories of /Computers.
Wikipedia, DMOZ… any other giant editorial commitments we haven’t seen yet?
Yes :) the BOTW blog directory :)
Thanks for the quick update, Joost. I didn’t notice it on other sites (yet).
Though DMOZ is not really what is being called web 2.0, I would still say it’s a good way to start some linkbuilding.
So I grabbed my chance to put some links in front of the queue as well :-)
It’s certainly a good place to start your linkbuilding, and if your site get’s approved, it’s one of the best links you can get for free!
Thnx.. good news.
And I can edit again. Nice :-)
Heh, good stuff :)
I’d seen it :) I’m not really in to SEO competitions I must admit, as I think they usually create more spam, which is not something I want to see in my search results :)
It’s been a long road to recovery for DMOZ.Being an editor though, the last few months have had the hidden bonus of creating a DB of sites for my cats to add when DMOZ became available again.It renewed my interest in a way!
I’ve had the same experience Dave, it’s got me working harder for DMOZ then ever before :)
Ahhh, I didn’t know you were a fellow editor. I think ti was a blessing in disguise for the quality of the directory.
It sure was, certainly for the categories I manage :)
For me it doesn’t mean much of a change… I’ve been waiting months and months for my site to be included.
The sad thing is that under this category, no editor is listed. Does anyone know if that means that my site will never be reviewed ?
Thanks
