As a follow up - I am also considering setting up a second person to oversee inventoring the database. Specifically, this person would be responsible for obtaining an inventory of all state agency listings, for every state and Canadian province, that have files and/or links that would need to be transferred to the wiki. In addition, this person would be responsible for identifying those states whose agency names overlap - for example, listing all the states that have an agency called 'Department of Natural Resources'. This would require the eventual construction of disambiguation pages, so all the states with common agency names could have a place to index their article.
This person would not necessarily need to be fluent in the wiki markup language, and would be free to build this listing in any manner s/he sees fit. This is very much an analytical position, and is a critical step in planning the second pass through the database, once pass 1 is complete. This will be a very time-consuming project, and one that demands a strict attention to details.
If you are interested, please contact me at ka3jjz at netscape dot com
