Journals of Becoming a DMOZ editor

Well I created this blog to keep track and journal myself trying to become a editor for the Open Directory Project.

Hello I am John Doe, and I want to become a ODP editor..

If anyone don't know what the ODP is, it stands for Open Directory Project. It is the biggest and most likely the most important directory on the net.
You might find some sites or forums argue that it is losing its importance, but most who give those statements are usually bitter that their website isn't accept in the ODP.

Wondering why I created this blog? Well basicly I would like to become a editor, and I plan to tell what I will experience in the process of becoming a editor, keep count of how many days or how long it will take if I accomplish to do so. Now I won't give specific details (Username, category I applied for, etc) because I don't want the myself to be identified.
Why do I want to become one? Well two basic reasons. #1 I read many horror stories from people who fail to become a editor. #2 I have time to volunteer, so why not help contribute to the best directory on the net?

Now let me bring you up to speed of things... So far I have applied to a category, I've been waiting for my application to be reviewed for about 27 days, I've check at the resource zone forum for a status check (this is a request to find out the process of your application) and I've been told by a editor "awaiting review". So now you have been brought up-to-date, let the journey begin...
