Long-term projects
Maps
- Generate aesthetically pleasing non-copyrighted maps for various topics (See 6th Congressional District of Alabama and Vestavia Hills for examples)

Timelines
Portals

- Eventually, I'd like to see subject-specific portals for BhamWiki, consisting of an introductory page with links to main articles, categories, lists, etc. These would be called BhamWiki:Architecture, BhamWiki:Arts, BhamWiki:History, BhamWiki:Music, BhamWiki:Sports, etc.
