Important community pages

- Bhamwiki:Policy - the foundation of any organization.
- Bhamwiki:References - useful references for research.
- BhamWiki:Style - a few notes on stylistic precedent.
- BhamWiki:Categories - some notes on categorizing and subcategorizing.
To do list

Organizations
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.)
Portals
- Bhamwiki:Sustainability is online. It has some aesthetic problems to be worked out.
- 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.
- There could also be regional portals, such as BhamWiki:Bessemer or BhamWiki:Shelby County.
