I m sorry I don t know what the goals is either other than as a yes or no to say the project has them and maybe for the assessments would mean they have the quality assessment categories and functionality on their banners That s just a guess though As far as the Maine question some of the state projects and several of the other US related projects do not have assessment carteories but I thought maine did If you look at the Embassy page Wikipedia WikiProject United States all the US related projects are listed that doesn t mean that they fall under WPUS just a list of what s out there their status and a link to the Assessment tables Not sure if that will help but maybe it will
