[MR] RE: Stefan's Florilegium files for May

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to Gentles across the Known World,

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

This should be going out to all of the Kingdom mail lists. If you are on 
more than one such list and don't see a copy of this article on all those 
lists, please contact me and let me know and I'll find and fix the problem.

If there is an article that you would like to see added to the Florilegium, 
please let me know and I'll see if I can find someone to write it.

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.
