[Sca-cooks] Stefan's files for May

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for May detailing what is new
in the Florilegium this month.

In early April my hard disk decided to distroy itself. Unfortunately,
since the last full backup I had made was in early 2000, I'm still
trying to put back together what I can from various places. If you have
sent me an article for inclusion in the Florilegium, please send it to
me again. There were a number of articles which I had not gotten around
to editing and getting online which I would still like to add to the
Florilegium.

If you haven't backed up your hard disk recently, learn from my
mistake, and make a copy of the information on it in the near future.

Also, please remember the Florilegium Tile Project coming up in June at
the War of the Lilies in June, at Pennsic in August and at the Knowne
World A&S Collegium in September. This is open to all folks whether you
will be attending one of these events or not. For more details see this
webpage: http://www.mindspring.com/~tripper/serena/TileProject/ For
those interested there has also been a maillist set up for those
interested in this project to exchange ideas and referance material and
to give suggestions to the project staff:
FlorilegiumTiles-subscribe at yahoogroups.com

Since this is a Known World wide project and will be at three large SCA
events, I need volunteers to help me with this project. I need
coordinators for each of the three events. I would also like to have a
coordinator for each SCA kingdom. And I will need volunteers at each
event to check in tiles, help set things up, etc.

Thanks,
    Stefan
(So, what kind of tile are you going to make for the Florilegium Tile
Project?)

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past thirteen 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

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.
