Re: [Wikimedia-l] dmoz.org

It might be as well to understand why ODP folded and whether there is
likely to be volunteer effort available for its continuation before
spending time effort and money on reconstituting it as a WMF project.

IMO this is something we should absorb into the WMF family of sites. Should
not be too hard to format as a wiki. Not sure how big their community is.
Anyone have any idea?

Gah really :-( DMOZ was super useful for dealing with linkspam on
