Steve,

The email address that the Alexa toolbar gives me as contact information
for this site is staff_at_dmoz.org. However, good luck getting a response.
We tried for about six months to get them to update our listings, to no
avail. I had heard that there may be a lag between submissions and when
they actually go live, because of a lack of volunteers - but we were
never even able to reach an actual person to talk to. It was a very
frustrating and futile endeavor.

The good news is - Google doesn't seem to be using DMOZ definitions for
their listings anymore, so the ODP is losing ground. I don't think
being listed with them (or having your listing made active) is going to
be that important in the near future.
