[MR] Stefan's Florilegium files for October

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentlefolk of the Known World,

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

I'm still looking for backup assistants to send this monthly article  to the 
Drachenwald, Atlantia, Outlands and the West kingdom lists,  when my regular 
assistants can't for some reason, such as being out  of town. If you are 
interested in helping me out and you are on one  of those lists, please 
contact me.

I want to thank Lissa Underhill in the East Kingdom who has  volunteered to 
help edit and update the files in the Florilegium.  Several of the files in 
this month's updated files list were done by  her. If anyone else would be 
interested in helping out in editing and  updating the Florilegium files, 
please contact me.

I also produce a version of this monthly article specifically for  websites. 
If you maintain such a website and would like me to add you  to my list of 
Web Ministers who get this article, please contact me.

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.
