Yahoo was DMOZ (its directory used DMOZ data).
DMOZ had 100k volunteers curating the content at some point, and had a whole complex process to prevent abuse and so on. It will be hard to get going again.
But yeah, who would've thought that a mere decade after being discontinued it would become relevant again.
