Provide a forum to announce new or renovated articles on the Middle Ages that may be of interest to the rest of the group.
Suggestions, resolutions, questions, and project creations, best practices HOWTO creation, etc.. all TBD.

The period is anything that could be defined as Middle Ages. which is typically anything from the Fall of Rome to the 16th Century. Use your best judgement, there are no hard chronological or geographic boundaries, as much as thematic ones.
