Longer term goals

• Get all Top importance articles to at least GA
• Get all High importance articles to at least B-class
• Get all Mid importance articles to at least C-class.
• Get all the others to at least start class. Where this is impossible or inappropriate, look into merging them into other articles.
• Rationalise coverage of the subject by splitting. merging and creating articles as seems appropriate at the time, and creating redirects wherever they will be useful.
• Maintain and develop the navbox to facilitate finding useful articles within the project.
• Build up the Portal:Underwater diving so that anyone can find any reasonably important information on the subject. This is in abeyance until the purpose of portals has been defined sufficiently to be worth the effort.
