I need someone to go through the entire dmoz directory and list down ALL its directory (if not all..at least 90% of the directory).

the category that you list, must at least have 5 site listing.(5 actual listing, NOT the number it says next to each category.

heres an example of a VALID category:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Algorithms/
this category has about 30 site listed...

this is NOT a valid category
http://dmoz.org/Computers/
it has NO site listing...

save all your category into a list, the attached file is an example of what im looking for, but i need it for the entire dmoz directory.

I think the whole directory would take up about 2MB of txt file.

because this is a time consuming task, i want to give someone th job instead of letting everyone have a go then only select 1 person, this is unfair for those that wasted their time.

so you can have this job if you have the lowest offer.
the max i'll pay is $15. (via paypal or credit card)

If you are willing to do this in exchange for 1 month membership at www.expirednic.com, you have first priority.

place ALL bids/offer in this thread.

Thank you.

Why copy a list of the sites, if you don't mind me asking? It seems like an AWFUL lot of work when you can get a php script to include DMOZ into your site, if that's what you're wanting ...

I check each category for names that has expired.
