:These are all good ideas. However, there's a problem - the states are '''owned''' (ie controlled) by [[User:OmniMediaGroup|OMG]] until at which time the governors' offices want to take over. (That is, the '''true owners''' of the respective states' official web sites.)
:Insofar as your specific comments, we have [[Centiare:subpage|subpage]]s enabled for just these reasons. If you take a look at [[Directory:Texas]], you can see I added a [[Directory:Texas/Counties|counties]] link earlier today. Ideally, each state would be organized in a uniform fashion that took full advantage of subpages & ASK queries - including history, etc.
:Rather than try & address 50 states, why don't we perfect Texas? If we do a bang up job on Texas, we can take it to the governor + each county + each (major) city + businesses, social orgs (churces, Boy Scouts), sports (Little League, etc), etc. If you browse through [[Directory:California]], you can see I experimented with each different level of government/agencies. To the extent of adding a few more tags, the existing relationships, attributes & categories (don't forget categories - read the [[Centiare:ASK|ASK]] primer) are all working very well.
:If we get Texas wired, then we can take the same idea to the other states. They ALL have economic development offices. The Net is all about lowering the cost of doing business, including marketing. Semantic tags + user controlled info (Web 3.0) is the secret weapon of small businesses. If we went after women & minorities, there would probably be money available for training them on Web 3.0.
