Some open projects worth consideration:
Important community pages
- Bhamwiki Talk:Messageboard - general discussion about the project.
- 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
Article suggestions
- See also: Special:Wantedpages for unwritten articles with the most red links to them.
- Municipalities: Re: List of Jefferson County municipalities, et al (with articles for each, using census data)
- Birmingham City Schools, Jefferson County schools, etc. (with articles for each school, stubs if need be)
- Articles on all 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 Civil War, World War II, Works Progress Administration, Labor movement, etc

This week in history
- BhamWiki will be helping provide a "This week in Birmingham history" column for The Terminal. Your help in generating articles for the 365/6 days of the year is most appreciated.
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
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.
