Ok, bad terminology on my part. I have no problem being a point of contact
and reference to help facilitate this. Putting people in contact with each
other and letting them decide who what when where and for how many cookies.
I define a _clearing house_ in my mind, as a singular authority , riding
shotgun over all of this type of work. I have no desire to be sitting in a
gold leafed throne ordering other artist about.

A database of Illuminators, calligraphers, Etc is not a bad idea as long as
it is a tool to use for this and not considered to be the end product and
simply expected to work. the only thing that will actually make this work is
personal interaction. Too many times I have seen "database" thrown out as a
solution when Communication is actually the problem. Once we know who can do
these originals and has time, next we have to let the populace at large know
how to get to it (back to me being a contact point)

I must also agree with Serena that there is no need to wait for Crown to
discuss this  nor any other concern of the College of Scribes. By all means
fire away! The meeting at Crown Tourney is simply a face to face version of
what we are doing here.
