Chainki - the wiki out to replace Dmoz

chainki.org is the world's biggest collection of links that anyone can edit! So:

• make sure your site is in Chainki
• make sure you've added a link from your site to the page in Chainki which users to your site would find most useful!

 

Here is the live link www.chainki.org

and this site seems to be using ODP (DMOZ) data and it is announcing that it will replace DMOZ
how it could be possible?

A directory can replace Dmoz only if it is build from scratch any way good luck with your project

 

How could chainki.org replace Dmoz? Firstly, Chainki is a fork from Dmoz (and so, yes, it was originally based on the Dmoz data), but now is off on its own adding its own set of sites, and so diverging all the time from Dmoz. Secondly, if more and more people start using it and editing it, eventually there will become a point when it will be more popular than even Dmoz.

Volunteer editors will choose to edit wherever they feel they can best contribute, and their contributions are the most valuable.

Then, the end of Dmoz will come.

Time will tell.

 

There are: English, Danish, Deutsch, Français, Nederlands, Svenska, but there's no Spanish ?
And, for The Netherlands, I think their language is Dutch.

 

The creators of chainki is very knowledgeable, I saw their website and I posted some, thanks for the site

 

Your idea is good, but the copied category from DMOZ will make your directory very complicated. For a directory, I think 2 sub level categories will be enough, and more than that will confuse web owners.

To replace DMOZ, just the same somebody wants to replace google.

 

What is meant by replacing Google ?

I think Dmoz gained importance because of Google's importance to Dmoz

 

Hey! Anyone know how to submit in Chainki? Please help

 

I kinda disagree with that. That is one reason google likes dmoz because how it is organized. I think it's more work but will be a much better directory then a 2 sub level directory.

 

you might want to start out by getting those URLs SEF

hehe

 

100% of links are No follow

 

check this out i found a page while looking for a suitible cat to submitt to and this is what i found , i can edit the page lol , something has got to be wrong looks like i could edit other sites listed , someone else have a look http://en.chainki.org/index.php?title=Family_Friendly_(Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories)

the edit buttons are on the right hand side

it says this at the bottom of the page !!!
Please note that all contributions to Chainki may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here.
You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource (see Project:Copyrights for details). DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!

 

I think it has potential. We need more options to DMOZ.

 

Sounds good, but you need more Advertisiing within good home page...

 

It's an open wiki - you just find the right page, click the edit tab at the top of the page and add your site.

See:

for more details.

 

It's a wiki - that means that anyone can edit. That's the idea. "something has got to be wrong" - yes, an antiquated system like Dmoz where only an elite few can edit.
