    Ah, first, thank you, are you an editor?

    Problem is, I also want it's listed into http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Languages/JavaScript/ ; many JavaScript sites (collections) are also listed into this section. Can it be accepted at this list?

    And about regional list, do you have permission to list a site? Or must be an editor of a country can do this?

    If a site qualifies, it may generally be listed once in a Topical category, like Computers, and once again in Regional (if you have a walk in, brick & mortar location, like an office/store).

    The fact that you are currently listed in a Computers category means an editor has reviewed your site and already placed you in the correct sub category. We place sites where they have to go within the Directory, for our own purposes, and not where the site owner would like to be placed.

    If you feel it might be misplaced, you can go to the category it's listed in, and hit the "Update Listing" button and request that it be moved to a more appropriate category, but the decision will be entirely up to the editor. You won't get any feedback about it, it will either be moved or left where it currently is listed.

    To get a possible Regional listing, just submit your site suggestion once more to the locality/city where the business is located. Yes, find your Country first, and then find your locality/city within the Country and submit there. Don't submit to the Country itself, or the site will have to be moved by an editor, which will make the process longer for you.
    http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/

    An editor will eventually get to it, but it may take anywheres from a few days to a few years, so just submit it once more and forget about it. It is not only allowable for a site to be listed in both a Topical and a Regional category (if they qualify for both) but editors are encouraged to list them in both places if it's appropriate. As we're very busy, that doesn't always get done.

    Thank you for the site suggestion, :).

    Your site is already correctly listed and it isn't eligible for a Regional listing.

    Please don't make any further listing suggestions for it or any update requests asking for it to be moved. It'll just consume or volunteer resources to no purpose.

    Just be happy that they actually reviewed and listed your site - I would leave well enough alone.
