I'm new to the group, an admirer of ODP and eager to do my part, small as it may be, in moving the entire ODP ahead. Forgive, then my first question; on what...
[Albert Dauray:] ... If, by "the current index," you are referring to the hierarchical structure of the ODP directory, commonly referred to as a "taxonomy,"...
... Albert, do realize that this list is not an official ODP list. Many of the people here are anti-ODP to some extent. I'm not anti-ODP, except that I think...
[Jimmy Wales:] ... Pardon me for saying so, but your position on your not being "anti-ODP" is inherently contradictory. To wit: * You think that it's time...
... Well, if that's true ("vast majority"), which I doubt, then those people are wrong. I'm not anti-Pepsi, even though I prefer Coke. I'm not anti-American if...
Hi nice to hear from you guys again. It's been quiet for awhile. I still haven't gotten back in to the ODP, and still haven't heard what seemed to be their...
ODP has been basically leaderless for over a year now, so the Meta can just run it as they see fit. Which obviously leads to a lot of problems.. ... From:...
And some of us are Pro-ODP but anti the oligarchy manner in which it is run. DMOZ is a good idea gone bad. ... From: Jimmy Wales To: xodp@yahoogroups.com Sent:...

Having a gigantic amount of ever increasing data lodged in a huge and ever increasing number of web sites is both the wonder and the curse of the internet. I...
XODP stems from Ex-ODP. That is, ex-editors of ODP. There are others in here, including some present editors. However, this group is quite likely to be very...
[Albert Dauray:] ... Which is more or less what I thought you meant, which is why I offered you the information that I did in my original reply. Simply put,...
[Jimmy Wales:] ... But if you were to express a pro-Pepsi opinion in the town of Atlanta, Georgia, you would probably find yourself categorized as anti-Coke. ...
[Warren:] ... This is basically correct, as was the other material following it, which I clipped. However, I think it's important to note that XODP is not...

When I first got into ODP a couple years ago, I had high hopes for it. Over about 15 months, I began to see more and more problems, far to numerous to list...

I've learned two major things from all of this conversation: (1) ODP seems to be imploding and (2) ODP is owned by a conglomerate. Both, of course, are...
Well, yes and no. ODP has BEEN imploding for quite some time, although it has been so gradual that it has not been noticed much. With it's internal personnel...
[Jimmy Wales:] ... Many people may perceive XODP this way, but that was not my intention in starting XODP. Rather, my critique of ODP, "Life After the Open...
