I like your idea.  Actually I will take any format you want to send with any
infoWhat I planned on doing is refomatting all of them to look a like and
sharing common info (so it takes less space).
I like your idea of each person doing their own.  What I want to do is the work
of the typesetter so they aren't confusing when you read them.
You can send me info in pretty much any file format so use what works best for
you (if you are using Macintosh let me know first or convert to a DOS file
format).

More like this is a candidate for a class I want to teach.

I would be more than happy to cross ref to the Florilegium or the Miscellany as
appropriate and acceptable to Stephan and Cariadoc.
I was thinking that article we could keep here might be things that are just a
little to small for a course.
I was thinking this would be good for things like competition papers.
Or we could do a online journal (an E-Zine).  This is up for grabs as a thought
in progress.

both the card catalog (listed in their own category online books)And as part of
the Online Cook Book.

Ok if you can scan it with a scanner into paintshop pro you can save it as a
TIFF, JPG or GIF.  TIFF is the largest and the best to send me because from it I
canmake either of the other two.  Save your picture to your local disk and
When you make an E-Mail there should be an option for attachments. In netscape
there is a big paperclip.
This will pop up the "regular" open file dialog box.  Select the file and it
will be attached to the E-Mail.

Thanks my plan is just to act as the printer/publisher of this.  I just don't
have the time and skills to work as an editor as well.I would like to institue a
rather liberal policy for submissions and let you all workout what is good.

The criteria I am going to use:
I believe that any class that has been taught as a collegium or symposium is a
good candidate for the class section.
Any class that is of this caliber but is not taught is also a good candidate.
Articles should contain documentation that is suitable for competition.
Recipies should contain sources and state what they are redactions, original,
modernization ...

I would like to institue a policy about critisms with the content (I can take it
on the chin for formatting) .  If you don't like some submitted content you have
to
offer to help fix it.  I.E. If you think someone is using a bad source you
shouldn't just say that source doesn't know what he is talking about.
You should say that a specific other source is much better and offer to help
them procur a copy.
