So, is this event still to happen? It sounds like it. When are you 
taking orders and who do I mail my check to? :-)
Actually, it would be nice to be able to see a list of classes or a 
table of contents or some such before putting  money up front. Of 
course, the cheaper it is, the less that is a concern.

Since you are doing this as a fundraiser it probably isn't feasible to 
ask to put a large amount of it in the Florilegium. :-) Although if the 
author retains the copyright, I might ask one or two of them directly, 
giving credit to the RIMeridies and highlighting where folks could get 
the entire proceedings.

Is the plan to continue to sell the proceedings for awhile or just at 
the event and a short time afterwards? If it is going to be available 
for awhile, perhaps someone could eventually send me a message, telling 
about the proceedings and where folks could buy them and I could put 
that message in the appropriate Florilegium file(s). This is also where 
I think a table of contents, perhaps even a snippet or summary of each 
article, might be very useful in convincing people that it will be 
worth their while to order the proceedings.

I've recently gotten several CDs of info and pictures put out by an 
archeologist about the dig(s) he is doing and the Norse artifacts he 
has found or perhaps just has access to. One for instance, concentrates 
on ivory and bone combs. Now if I can just find time to actually try to 
make some...
