[MR] Stefan's files for MARCH

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to folks across the Known World!

Here is a copy of the this month's Florilegium article detailing what is new 
in the Florilegium this month.

I know that some of you had difficulty accessing the Florilegium a week ago. 
This was a problem with the server computer the Florilegium site was 
residing on. The server has now had a lot of software upgrades and it has 
been moved. Currently I am having some trouble with the FTP site I use to 
upload the new files to the site. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next 
few days. If you find that a file you want is not there, please feel free to 
contact me by email and I will gladly send you out a copy by email. Please 
specify if you want the text, HTML or RTF format.

As usual, I am always looking for additional articles, forwards of good 
email threads from lists I'm not on, or for volunteers to help edit files 
and maintain the site.

I will be camping with my barony at the next Gulf Wars in another week or 
so. Please feel free to drop by and say hi.

Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past fourteen 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.

I will be at the upcoming Gulf Wars event in Meridies this month. If anyone 
would like to discuss the Florilegium or anything else, please feel free to 
drop by my barony’s encampment (Barony of Bryn Gwlad, Ansteorra) and ask for 
me.
