Structure of the Database... DMOZ structure? I hear a lot of people say that DMOZ db structure is slow and archaic in ways. Id think that it could be a lesson of what is right and wrong about it and how to learn from it to create something new.

Regards to popups, that part wouldnt matter to me, some of the best sites have them. :D How could the site be designed to have people watch the watchers if it were moderatored. We all know that dmoz has some currupted moderators. Even if it were public vote based it would still require some sort of moderation.

Small directories will never go away, infact I hope more popup, they are great resources. However a directory which is general, properly setup, easily workable would make a great site such as DMOZ or Yahoo's structure of information.

Relivent categories is a great thing in DMOZ which i think the new directory should also have.
