Those of you who use dmoz regularly have probably noticed that there have been no changes to any directory in over a month. Sites that have been added or changed by editors in the past month or so have, up to this point, been invisible to the public. This was due to a system-wide upgrade that was apparently quite involved. The good news is that the freeze is expected to end tomorrow at noon PDT. Amongst other things, this means the count of LIS Weblogs should jump from the current 217 to over 250! When I started as an editor in March, this count was under 100. I see no indication that this growth has plateaued and look forward to seeing what the future holds for our little part of the blogosphere.

Update: It appears I misinterpreted the recent forum discussion, as nothing has changed at dmoz. Sorry for the apparent misinformation - I’ll keep checking in and keep you posted.
