[MR] December Acorn received today - 15th

[Lady Rhiannon of Berra]

I don't think it's a matter of interest or not.. it's SOCIETY policy that we can't put these things on the web until after the hard copies have been sent.  Once the Acorn has been sent out, the letters can be put on the web.. but not until.  In the SCA, there is very little (in terms of policy changes and etc.) that is "official" until after it's appeared in PRINT once.

We've all had problems with the post office, unfortunately (I've actually received things four to six months after they were sent).  I don't blame the sender, I blame the post office.  

The only change I'd love to see is a longer online event calendar.  The one we have doesn't go far enough into the future to be of much use.

I wanted to clarify. I don't want the Acorn in its entirity available over
the Internet. I think the letters should be. In fact, as a few of us have
already noted some of the letters are published on the Internet on official
Kingdom Webpages like the Clerk Signet's Webpage. Does that mean by Society
Policy we are in breach of Section 5F of the Society Chronicler Policy
because we are publish parts of the Acorn in an electronic medium? Why
publish some of the letters and not all of them on the Internet? I
understand all Kingdom Officers are volunteers. But from experience I know
that publishing a Word Processing document into HTML takes about 2 minutes
or maybe an hour if some hyperlink menu to individual letters was done. I
would be willing to volunteer my time to make this happen periodically if
there is interest.
