A follow-up from the DMOZ admin team.

We know this news comes as a shock to all of you. It did to us as well, but we’ve known for a little while that the future of DMOZ was hanging in the balance. Russ worked very hard inside AOL to try to find alternative support for our project after the current owner within the company decided to cease its support. There were some promising directions and developments, but in the end everything fell through. Since we recently learned that DMOZ’s days inside AOL were numbered, we have discussed ways to continue DMOZ as an independent entity. There was not enough time to develop firm plans before the imminent closure, but we are hopeful that the directory can be resurrected in some form before too long. We have discussed some details concerning the necessary infrastructure, software, cost, and funding, but much remains unclear at this time. However, all the data is saved and safe, and available to us going forward.
Much as we wish AOL could have continued its support for DMOZ, we must accept that our paths are diverging. We invite you to discuss your thoughts and ideas about the future of the directory and community in this thread. It is our understanding that this forum will remain available for an additional two weeks, which should be enough time to get some ideas on the table and decide on a forward plan. Let’s focus on what we can do.

DMOZ管理团队的后续工作。

我们知道这个消息对所有人都是震惊。它也给了我们，但我们知道了一会儿，DMOZ的未来悬在平衡。Russ在AOL内部努力工作，试图为我们的项目找到替代支持，当前公司的所有者决定停止其支持。有一些有前途的方向和发展，但最终一切都通过了。由于我们最近了解到，DMOZ在AOL中的日子被编号，我们讨论了如何继续DMOZ作为一个独立实体。在即将关闭之前，没有足够的时间制定坚实的计划，但我们希望目录可以在某种形式下复活过久。我们已经讨论了一些关于必要的基础设施，软件，成本， 和资金，但目前还不清楚。但是，所有的数据都是保存和安全的，我们可以使用。
正如我们希望AOL可以继续支持DMOZ，我们必须接受我们的路径分歧。我们邀请您讨论您的想法和想法关于目录和社区的未来在这个线程。我们的理解是，这个论坛将继续提供两个星期，这应该有足够的时间来得到一些意见并决定一个前进计划。让我们专注于我们能做什么。我们邀请您讨论您的想法和想法关于目录和社区的未来在这个线程。我们的理解是，这个论坛将继续提供两个星期，这应该有足够的时间得到一些意见，并决定一个前进计划。让我们专注于我们能做什么。我们邀请您讨论您的想法和想法关于目录和社区的未来在这个线程。我们的理解是，这个论坛将继续提供两个星期，这应该有足够的时间来得到一些意见并决定一个前进计划。让我们专注于我们能做什么。
