Okay, you are a brand new editor itching to get started.  Where do you start?  Or you are thinking about applying to be an editor but you'd like to know what is involved first.

• ODP Editing: The Quick & Dirty Guide, Or, the Top Ten ODP dos and don'ts while editing the Open Directory categories.
• ODP Guidelines Editing Guidelines, open to the public
• Accepted editors are allowed access to forums.  A New Editor's Forum was added a few months after I volunteered.  I recommend that new editors post here first before moving onto the other forums.
