Greetings to the folks of the Known World,

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

I have also been working on the programs I use to help convert the
basic files which are kept in RTF format into decent looking HTML code,
which is what the web uses. Last spring I had a disk crash which took
with it the programs I was then using. This new set of programs adds
things such as a list of similar files which are real links and not
just text names. It also makes most links clickable from the file.
Unfortunately, the latter feature still has a few problems which I will
fix in the near future. In the meantime, I wanted to start using this
program on the new and upgraded files.

My records show that over 6000 different browsers were used to access
the Florilegium last month. There is no way that I can test the results
of my new program with this many systems. So, please take a look at
these new files and if you have a problem, please let me know and I
will see about fixing it. Also, if you have any suggestions about
improving the format of the new files, including the graphics, please
let me know.

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.
