The description you give to dmoz is hardly modifiable after having been accepted in the directory. So typos and mistakes are out of the question. Think what could be a good description and take more than 5 minutes to create, structure, create again, structure again, and polish it. The rules below may help you out:

This is a general rule not only for DMOZ but all the other directories out there on internet.

The description must be:

- Concise, precise, informative, objective. People must understand what your website is about in a bolt of lightning.

- Structured. Your description must be grammaticaly correct, punctuations must be used properly, use a third person pronouns. Start your sentence with a capital letter and end with a period.

- Not megalomaniac. Keywords like 'best', 'better', 'beautiful', 'genius', 'great', 'astounded', 'astonishing', 'extremly powerful' are out of the question when writing a description for DMOZ!

- Not overflowed by keywords. Avoid repeating the same keywords more than 2 times. And it still depends on the length of your text so you're the own judge of your description, if you estimate repeating 2 times the same keyword is too much, do not repeat it 2 times.

- Clean. No references relating with hackers, porn websites, warez websites shall be found inside your description (and website).
