im 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 thats 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 whats out there their status and a link to the assessment tables not sure if that will help but maybe it will
