Treat this as a rumour, but I have been told that all editors will be allowed to login to the dashboard over the weekend. AOL has allegedly implemented many improvements to the backend of the directory. On top of that the directory will run on new servers with a live back up system. It is also claimed that the ambivalence that some people have had toward the ODP has not been an issue.
Ok, this could be interesting. I would imagine that a good part of the editors that still was active October the 20th never will return to the project. I guess we would have to wait a few weeks before we see how the outage did affect the directory.
