[Sca-cooks] Stefan's Florilegium files for September

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to the members of the SCA-Cooks mail list,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for September describing  
what is new in the Florilegium.

I am looking for a volunteer and a backup volunteer to forward this  
monthly article to the An Tir kingdom mailing list, since I can no  
longer post directly to that list. If you would be willing to help me  
out with this please contact me.

I am also looking for a backup volunteer for the Atlantia,  
Drachenwald, Outlands and Trimaris kingdom mailing lists. These  
backup volunteers will get the article just like the main kingdom  
volunteers, but not send it on unless it doesn't appear on their  
kingdom list.

There are now over 2000 different files in the Florilegium. If you  
can't seem to find files on a subject you are interested in, you  
might want to try using the on-site search engine which can be found  
on the top page of the site.

If you have any suggestions, comments or criticisms about the site,  
please feel free to email me. Also, there are no hundreds of public  
mailing lists out there. I can monitor only a small number of these.  
If you see a good article or message thread on a list you are on  
which you think would be of interest to others in the SCA, please  
send me a copy so that others can learn from the efforts of these  
authors as well.

Thanks,
    Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past sixteen 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

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.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping  
me maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials,  
editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more  
details.

For those who would like to help support the Florilegium project in  
another way, I have added a PayPal donation button on the top page of  
the site. Any donations, while not tax deductible, do help pay the  
overhead costs of keeping the site running.
