DMOZ Open Directory Project

DMOZ Open Directory Project

The Open Directory follows in the footsteps of some of the most important editor/contributor projects of the 20th century. Just as the Oxford English Dictionary became the definitive word on words through the efforts of volunteers, the Open Directory follows in its footsteps to become the definitive catalog of the Web.



The Open Directory was founded in the spirit of the Open Source movement, and is the only major directory that is 100% free. There is not, nor will there ever be, a cost to submit a site to the directory, and/or to use the directory's data. The Open Directory data is made available for free to anyone who agrees to comply with our free use license.

Directory Scripts

A Directory Script is the software used to create a directory. It provides the databases, categorisation, and a range of features and functionality out of the box for easy setup. There are a number of different types of scripts, and we have attempted to offer information on: the most popular; those with the most features; those which are still supported within the community.

We do not endorse one script more than any other, and provide this unbiased, alphabetical list of directory scripts to offer the end user the chance to compare and choose which solution works best for them. Some want a popular script that they can get easy modifications for, whilst others want a significant deviation from the norm so as to be as different as possible. Each to their own, check out the features and support of each script and then make your own informed decision based on your particular needs.
