Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,
Here is a copy of my April Florilegium article detailing what is new
in the Florilegium this month.
I am in the middle of creating a list of desired articles for the
Florilegium and will post the list on the site. If you've tried to
find something in the Florilegium and couldn't find it or you have
some other ideas of articles you would like to see, please email me
your suggestions and I will add them to the list. If anyone is
looking for something to research, take a look at this list and see
if something looks interesting to you.
Thanks,
Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present
Over the past seventeen 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 collection of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.
The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org
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. A&S documentation
and class handouts will also often work out well.
I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping
me maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials,
editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more
details.
