I was hearing some reports from others that they saw some changing in Google directory. I have not seen any myself just checking.

Let's hope so, but it may not be necessarily the case. I've heard that Google takes the RDF dump at the same time it deep-crawls the web - unfortunately the RDF dump available at the time of deep crawling in February wasn't valid - it had no category id's.

Hopefully, they'll make an exception this month since the directory is so out of date.

Google just uses the rdf dump once it is supplied anyone can get it. i even downloaded it once just to have a peek.

you can try yourself (its a massive download) from here http://rdf.dmoz.org/

Rumour has it (well, GoogleGuy has spoken ) that Google HAS got an RDF dump and will be therefore updating their directory forthwith.

I don't think Google updates the DMOZ data in their database on every dance. I'm not positive, but I don't believe they would since lately it has been causing a major delay in the dance.

They normally do update the directory at around the same time as the dance IF (and recently it has been a big if) dmoz has been able to produce RDF data.
