[Sca-cooks] A collaborative resource ...

[Daniel Myers]

Greetings,

In a conversation last week with my very clever lady-wife, she 
mentioned something to the effect that she sometimes finds a good 
reference to something she's not currently researching, and that much 
later when she does want to look deeper into the subject she can no 
longer remember where the reference is.

I realized that I often have the same problem (in fact, sometimes it's 
worse and I can only remember that there was some sort of thing that I 
wanted to remember but I haven't the foggiest idea what it was).  Oddly 
enough, I had also just been looking into Wiki software (programs that 
create collaborative web sites) and thought that a wiki might be a good 
tool for collecting miscellaneous references and putting them in some 
kind of order.

So ... I've set one up and have put up on it what resources I had 
readily on hand, and now I think it's ready to open up and let others 
have a go at it.  Please take a look, make comments, add pointers to 
the myriad references I've missed (e.g. there must be a bazillion 
worthwhile books out there).

The site is called the Knowledge Commons, and is at
http://www.medievalcookery.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

Thank you for your time - We now return you to your regularly scheduled 
program of dance music.

- Doc
