[Ansteorra-announce] Stefan's files for January

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to folks around the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for January, detailing what is
new in my Florilegium files this month.

As you can see, many of the new files this month are articles
submitted to me by their authors. If you have written an article
that you think might be of interest to others across the Known
World, please send it to me to consider adding to the files. The
copyright stays with the author. If you have read an article
written by someone else that you think would be a good addition,
please encourage them to send it to me. Or send a copy to me with
contact info, and I will try to write them.

I also write a version of this article meant for posting on web
sites. If you manage an SCA oriented website and would like to
get this article for placing on your website, please contact me.

Best wishes to everyone, for a Happy New Year!

Stefan

-----------------
A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past eleven years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting
bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and
articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make this
information available to others, I have placed this information in
a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

Files that are new or have been updated are indicated by a special
marker in the filelists at the website. In addition, the file
-updated-files is a listing of these files in chronological order.

A copy of my complete filelist is available in most sections of the
website. This filelist or any of my files is also available from me
by email in either Word or text formats.

If you find a bad link or other problem with the Florilegium website,
please let me know. Once I know about a problem I can usually fix it
that day but if no one alerts me to a problem it may be months before
I notice it myself.

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article
that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me
for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for more details.
