[MR] Stefan's Florilegium files for January

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentle Folk of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for January 2006, detailing  the 
new and some of the updated files for this month.

I also make this article available to editors of SCA newsletters on  my list 
several weeks in advance. This allows them the time they need  to meet their 
publication deadlines, yet still be able to publish the  latest article. If 
you are an editor and would like to be added to my  list, please contact me.

I am always looking for additional good articles for the Florilegium.  If 
you know of any web sites, especially ones run by individuals,  where there 
are articles you think deserve a wider distribution,  please send me the 
details and I will contact the authors for  permission.

Thanks,
  Stefaan

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.
