[Sca-cooks] NEW PROJECT - Food Timeline - Hugh big Project

[Susan Fox-Davis]

They should not jump on anybody who attempts a big project - that's how big projects get done!

However, someone has already done something like this.  Maybe you had better have a look, and see what you can adapt for SCA use.  They cite some of our listees' web sites, such as Cariadoc's Miscellany and Cindy Renfrow's Links Page.
