[Scriptoris] Fwd: A&S Item Summary

[Hillary Greenslade]

Greetings Scribes, 
I received the following e-mail from Mistress Dyan, for a suggestion on a summary sheet to go in
front of your documentation.  I like the concept as it's like a quick menu list.. just scroll down
the list to see what items you are interested in checking out.   

Current documentation standard suggest your regular 2-3 page document, with supporting longer
documentation behind it, if the viewer wants more details, and to top it off, have a brief summary
1-page sheet on the front.   So many of our competitions, the judges are hardpressed to read all
the documentation, so this has been requested in Ansteorra for some time.   

Its a good thing (quoting Martha Stewart)
Cheers, Hillary - Star Signet
