After checking daily for the last 5 months I was surprised to see that DMOZ opened up for new submissions tonight. Who knows how long it will last. Better get in there!!
One never knows how DMOZ submissions will play out, however. I have had some entered relatively quickly, and others still pending after protracted waits.
Clearly, there are many variables with the monolith; but it is good to hear that the doors have been reopened.
