Mailing list

Citizens of Nova Roma who would like to participate should join the mailing list NRWiki @ yahoogroups.com, and discuss what you'd like to work on; this way we can avoid duplication of effort. Some parts of the main site - particularly the Album Civium, Album Gentium, Album Senatorium, and related pages will *not* be wikified.
