DMOZ Open Directory
===================

NewHoo!, a community-maintained search engine started in June, has
just been purchased by Netscape and is now dubbed the Netscape
Open Directory. While Web surfers already have an abundance of
search engine options, Open Directory distinguishes itself through
its method more than its content. That is, sites are selected,
categorized, and annotated by over 4,500 "volunteer editors."
NewHoo! contained over 100,000 categorized Websites when acquired
by Netscape, and content will surely grow. The site also offers
information on volunteering as an editor and using copies of the
directory. "Netscape will offer a special license, similar to the
mozilla.org open source code development license, to allow
individuals and organizations to take advantage of and use copies
of the directory that they can crawl, archive and reuse on their
machines." [TK]
