DMOZ looking for editors

What Topic Do You Care About? DMOZ blog (Oct 24)

Dmoz seems to be inviting people keen on a topic to apply to be a category editor.

Post has some figures that tell us a bit about its operation.

+ "Over the history of the project, DMOZ has had more than 70,000 volunteer editors worldwide. On average, there are approximately 6,000 active editor accounts at any given time. "

+ "On average, DMOZ accepts 78 new editors per week"

People commenting on the post weren't impressed. Many aren't accepted as editors, and there may be a high turnover of those who are.
