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.
