===''[[Augustæum]]''===
'''Proposal: The Society should work toward publishing the members newsletter [[Augustæum]] on a monthly schedule, presuming sufficient funding and material enough for four pages are available.'''
'''Proposal: The Society should conduct a survey to test the level of interest in publishing the members newsletter [[Augustæum]] electronically, and a decision made about the value of devoting the time needed to reformat as HTML (versus publishing as a PDF file).'''
[[Headquarters Staff ]] have been authorized by a previous administration to conduct such an email survey. They are presently looking to combine this with a [[Member Interest Survey]] under the auspices of the [[Dean of Studies]].
===''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]''===
'''Proposal: The Society should reduce the publishing frequency of ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]'' to annual; targeting 36 pages/issue minimum, until such time as the Society's finances and the rate of submissions are able to support an increased frequencyof the same minimum size.'''
To aid in fundraising, advertising is accepted. Historically, these have primarily been support ads from members, but there is also a history of commercial advertising of relevant products and services.To date, this has largely been a reactive program, with only occasional calls for ads, resulting in a fill rate insufficient to the need for filler copy. '''Proposal: The Society should establish an [[Advertising Manager]] under the auspices of the [[Finance Committee]] or [[Treasurer]] with a charge to ensure that sufficient ad copy is available for the layout needs of ''The [[Augustan Omnibus]]'', and that done, to maximize income.'''
===''[[Rosarum]]''===
===''A Continuation of Paget's ''Ancestry of the Prince of Wales===
This monumental effort has been published in 24 parts in various publications of both the Augustan Society and the [[Octavian Society]]. The author has stated that the next installment will be his last. It will take a substantial effort to scan, OCR, reformat, and publish. The result may run to perhaps 800 pages and require multiple volumes (more if the author continues . '''Proposal: The Society should work to submit material)publish Germond's ''A Continuation of Paget's "Ancestry of the Prince of Wales"''.
===''Vigil: A Knight's Training Program''===
This would be based on the Van Dusen program of the previous century, after a substantial edit. It would be best if the [[Rose Training Officer]] were on the editorial group, or better, headed it.
'''Proposal: The Society should work to publish ''Vigil: A Knight's Training Program'', and if possible, to do so in support of the [[Knights Training Program]] of the [[Noble Company of the Rose]].'''
===''Augustan Lineages''===
This would be a series, each volume containing a number of descents from some worthy (or perhaps the [[Society of Descendants of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem|Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem]]). These would be a combination of lineages published and those submitted to qualify for various [[Sub-Groups]].
'''Proposal: The Society should work to publish a series of volumes of collected lineages from those submitted or previously published.'''
===''Guide to Orders of Chivalry''===
'''Proposal: The Society should publish the ''Guide to Orders of Chivalry'' and see that it is updated as necessary.'''
===''Royalty of China'' by Joseph Uphoff===
Under deveolpment.
===''Royalty of India'' by Joseph Uphoff===
Under development.
===''The Little Manual of Heraldry''===
This work is poorly organized, eccentric in coverage, and printed in black & white. It deserves a thorough revision and color artwork. The existence of a large backlog of the third edition should not discourage this effort.
===A new version, once the structure has been determined, could be printed in ''The [[Augustan Society Roll of ArmsOmnibus]]''===in chapters as each is completed.
The Society's program of [[Arms Registration]] is of limited value if those registrations are not made public in some way. The [[Online Armorial]] is one tool for this, but it is not the only one. It is also suitable to use published rolls as a general fundraiser, as has been done in the past. '''Proposal: The Society should work to publish additional volumes a new edition of the [[Augustan Society Roll of Arms]] as registrations permit.''' '''Proposal: The Society should reprint the first three volumes Little Manual of the [[Augustan Society Roll of Arms]] in color.Heraldry''' '''Proposal: The Society should publish special rolls for [[Sub-Groups]] of the Societythat is better organized, such as the [[Noble Company of the Rose]]more comprehensive, as those Sub-Groups requestand in color throughout.'''
'''Proposal: The Society should obtain an email server that is tailored to the unique needs of the Society. This may be a commercial product, or a custom application running on a Society server.'''
The email server should support the current email addressing scheme, perform spam filtering, avoid looking like (or being) a source of spam, and encourage the creation of groups (such as Directors or members of various Study Groups).
If possible, it should also permit Headquarters to receive most mail in a common inbox accessible by all HQ staff who could either deal with each, or transfer it to another staffer more suited to respond. It must also allow for the storage of emails sent and received in a structured manner so that any staff member could research conversation threads without regard to who participated in them.
