How can you expect to effectively coordinate thousands of volunteers to edit a web directory? Won it be a mess?
Chef Moz will have more entropy and anarchy than the equivalent centrally-run catalog. But it will also be much, much larger. And this vast army of human reviewers will provide a much superior directory to that produced by a small professional staff or single individual web site. Editors will not always agree, but you will be able to count on them for good suggestions. Chef Moz will provide a hierarchical organization for ensuring that editors are acting responsibly, and to screen new editor applicants. The overwhelming majority of editors are responsible, helpful and constructive individuals. Rollback and review mechanisms will allow the actions of any malicious editors to be contained. Chef Moz’s volunteer staff will prove to be more scalable, adaptable and able to respond faster than other web indexing systems. The volunteer-run Editor Mediation tool will send any complaints about an editor to an experienced neutral editall, who will try to resolve the problem.
