Title: New Bitcoin ODP (Open Directory Project) Editor Post by: MineForeman.com on December 26, 2012, 10:20:37 PM Hi All,
I am glad to announce I have been made an editor for the Bitcoin category over at dmoz.org (http://dmoz.org) (also known as the ODP) you can read my full announcement HERE (http://mineforeman.com/2012/12/27/new-bitcoin-odp-editor-in-town/). View the actual category HERE (http://www.dmoz.org/Science/Social_Sciences/Economics/Financial_Economics/Currency_and_Money/Alternative_Monetary_Systems/Bitcoin/) I am actually quite excited to get started and I hope to give the bitcoin category/community much more attention than it has ever had before from the ODP. I do need your input though (and your sites) so if you could read what I have written (http://mineforeman.com/2012/12/27/new-bitcoin-odp-editor-in-town/) about what I want to achieve with the category and get back to me (via my contact details or here) it would be greatly appreciated. My first order of business as I get familiar with the rules and policies is to fix the category structure at the moment it is;- - Bitcoin -- Mining And I am thinking of something like;- - Bitcoin -- Alternitive Chains -- Clients -- Data --- Market --- Blockchain -- Education -- Exchanges -- Games --- Gambling -- Mining --- Hardware --- Software --- Pools -- Merchants -- News -- Online Wallets -- Payment Processors -- Tools But I want your input on this. Thanks a lot for any efforts you make, I really hope we can make things better together.

Why does that ODP not support downloading of only selected categories and incremental updates? Would make it far more useful IMHO.

Are there any plans by the site owner to update the visuals? How many people actually use ODP?

Title: Re: New Bitcoin ODP (Open Directory Project) Editor Post by: BeeCee1 on December 31, 2012, 11:12:12 PM I'd have the structure be like this:
# Alternative Monetary Systems # Crypto Currencies # Bitcoin # Litecoin # ... # Local Currency Systems I wouldn't put 'market' under data either.

It is literally the best human edited directory out there and the major search engines trust it highly when ranking a site.
