ODP Editing 101
This issue of the DMOZ newsletter goes back to some basics. This month's featured articles focus on three critical areas of editing knowledge: Regional, Editing Tools, and the Big Picture.

The Big Picture
As with an endeavor, it is easy to get bogged down in the minutia, and loose sight of the key objective. Laisha has prepared a very timely and important article that reminds all of us of why we are here.

Regional 101
Still struggling with the Regional guidelines? Are you a new Regional editor or thinking of becoming one, but too freaked out by the guidelines? Our resident Regional guru and Meta editor, whose infamous forum posts have turned his name into a verb, has prepared the first part in a two part series on Regional. Kfander provides some insight for new and seasoned editors alike, and shows that while Regional is unique, it is not all that hard to understand.

Editor Tools Primer
The ODP's techno-guru and tool master, newwave has prepared a primer on the Top 10 editing tools at DMOZ. Learn these tools and edit like a pro!
