    As many of you probably already knew, I'm a dmoz editor. I'm one of those editors that don't know how long I'll stay one, but for now I've been in - which is good, or I wouldn't have known the following:

    Just now, when I tried to login to dmoz, it was down for editors. It said in multiple languages (repeating the English):

    I guess it's counting time again. Anyone up for bets how long they'll be down this time?

    I thought (for like two weeks) that there was an actual dmoz blog, and logged onto that - hoping for this sort of update, but didn't get it. Do they really expect editors to watch the forums just so they get a heads up on this sort of thing?

    And yes: there is some sort of dashboard notice thing going on, but this wasn't on it (when last I checked - I did log in last week). In fact, it usually gives info rather late.

    But I am glad to see they announced it in at least one public place and it's an actual planned maintenance thing - and they've announced a time line.
