> >From the web site:
> Onomastica is a mailing list for discussing and collaborating on
> historical names research and article projects (mostly but not
> exclusively aimed at an historical re-creation audience, such as the
> SCA and renaissance fairs). It is a place for sharing discoveries,
> asking questions, and getting and giving assistance with all aspects of
> historical names research. Topics may range from how to interpret
> primary source evidence to whether the wording of an explanation will
> make sense to non-experts. The list is for anyone with an interest:
> beginner, expert, or merely curious -- and lurkers are very welcome.
> (But note that you most definitely do not need to be knowledgeable
> about names in order to be helpful to others. Lack of onomastic
> expertise is positively an advantage when it comes to judging how easy
> to understand or confusing an explanation or article is for a general
> audience.)
>
> Onomastica is intended to complement, not compete with, existing forums
> such as SCAHrlds or the Academy of S. Gabriel, where similar topics are
> discussed, by providing a venue where the sole focus is the research
> and writing of articles, without the high volume of posts about other
> issues (e.g., without the SCA registration and armory discussions on
> SCAHrlds, without the client processing on S. Gabriel, etc.).
> -----
>
> Please feel free to forward this announcement to forums where it may be
> of interest. (It has already been posted to the Rialto [rec.org.sca],
> alt.heraldry.sca, SCAHrlds, and the Academy of S. Gabriel mailing
> list.)
