[MR] Stefan's Florilegium article for July

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for the month of July, detailing 
what is new in the Florilegium this month.

Last month, when I sent that month's article to the mail lists, I mentioned 
that I was looking for a job as an Electronics Engineer. I want to thank 
those of you who emailed me and offered support and suggestions and to 
mention that I started what looks to be a wonderful job at Celestica, 
designing server computers for IBM, earlier this week. That is one of the 
reasons I'm a few days late getting this article to the lists.

I'm also looking for someone to act as my representative for the Middle 
Kingdom. The main thing I need is someone to forward this monthly article to 
that kingdom's mail list, as it doesn't seem to be getting to that list, 
since I'm getting bounce messages. I'd actually like to get two volunteers 
so I have a backup for this.

And lastly, if anyone has any suggestions, comments or criticisms about the 
Florilegium please feel free to send them to me. Also, if find a bad link in 
the Florilegium, please let me know. Sometimes a bad link has been there for 
months, yet if I know about them, I can often fix them the day I'm notified.

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.
