Article suggestions
General needs

- Birmingham City Schools, Jefferson County schools, etc. (with articles for each school, stubs if need be)

Long-term projects
Maps
- Generate aesthetically pleasing non-copyrighted maps for various topics (See 6th Congressional District of Alabama and Vestavia Hills for examples)
- Possibly develop Google Earth layers for certain categories or lists (homicides, meat and threes, wallace rayfield buildings...).
Timelines
- Articles for each calendar day have been created (Thanks, Wheresdib!). Let's keep expanding them with important dates from new articles.
- Begin creating articles for decades and years with links to specific topics (See 1901, 2005, etc.)
