Garrett, first I want to say that Karl and I have both been very impressed and our inspiration renewed, seeing how aggressively you're taking this Centiare bull by the horns. I just want to apologize that I haven't been spending more time "within" Centiare because of my workload, a death in the extended family, and the fact that I'm going to be on vacation and attending a conference next week. So, that said... I can't wait (probably in about 10 days time) to get in touch with you personally about how we can improve Centiare.

So, I have to say, I'm not in agreement with your putting continents and sports within the [[Centiare:Directory Space|Directory Space]]. Our rule of thumb is if the entity has standing in a court of law, it goes in the Directory. Since a city like "Houston" does have a city government (which can be sued), we decided that cities go in the Directory. Same could be said for counties, states, and even nations. However, I'm not seeing how or why something like "Africa" or "Baseball" should go into Directory Space. Neither of these entities have a governing body that is beholden to any court system. "Major League Baseball", of course, would go in the Directory. The "African Union" would also go to the Directory. But not "Baseball", and not "Africa". Agreed? If you have an amazing reason otherwise, I'm listening. Barring that, I think they should be "restored" to Main Space. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 20:31, 2 February 2007 (PST)

:Sorry, Garrett, we should have been more clear regarding [[Centiare:Directory Space|Directory Space]] policy. Still, like [[User:OmniMediaGroup|OMG]], the idea of claiming Directory space until the real owners show up is sound. Who else are they going to use that is familiar with the [[Directory:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] program to manage their listings? Add in [[Centiare:Semantic tagging|Semantic tagging]] and [[Web 3.0]] transactions, and you can see the type of support entities will require.
:Likewise, the concept of creating Main space stubs and linking them back to your Directory listing(s) via [[Centiare:Aficianados|Aficianados]] is also a good idea. I can see we have a budding entrepreneur; we'll be happy to provide whatever guidance we can to ensure that you have a ''profitable'' experience.
