Some open projects worth consideration:
Important community pages

To do list
Article suggestions
General needs
- See also: Special:Wantedpages for unwritten articles with the most red links to them.
- See also: Category:Stubs for articles that need expansion.
- See also: Special:LonelyPages for orphaned pages that need links created to them.
- Birmingham City Schools, Jefferson County schools, etc. (with articles for each school, stubs if need be)
- Articles on all former Birmingham City Council members and everyone listed in Mayor of Birmingham
- List of Railroads operating in the Birmingham District
- Articles for each entry in the List of Birmingham neighborhoods
- Big portal/survey-type articles for major events which had an impact on the area such as World War II, the Great Depression, Works Progress Administration, Labor movement, etc
- Walker v. City of Birmingham and other Supreme Court cases involving local issues
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.
