This is my Florilegium article for April 2019

The Florilegium is finally running Again!

As some of you may have noticed, the Florilegium website was down for several months. But it is up and running again on a new, faster server. The old server got caught up in an inheritance case. So I had to pull and re-create the website from a backup copy. The old version was running under Zope, which is no longer bring maintained. Unfortunately converting to straight HTML ended up requiring me to modifying all the index files and reprocessing all 2500+ data files.

I'm sure some errors have crept in, such as missing files or files that are no longer connected to their photos and illustrations. If you see such an error, please let me know and I will fix it as soon as possible.

Over the past twenty-nine years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists, facebook groups, and articles whose authors have given me permission to publish. In order to make this information available to others, I have placed this information in a collection of files called 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. A&S documentation and class handouts will also often work well. I am especially interested in research papers submitted as A&S entries.

If you see someone's A&S documentation or perhaps an article in a local newsletter that you think deserves a wider audience, please let me know. I won't publish anything without the author's permission, but many authors are too reserved to send me their articles on their own.
