-* templates/
-* static/
- initially I had started to keep:
- * templates (html templates with embedded python-like django chunks)
- * static files (css, js, images..)
- locally in the app were they belong
- but I ended up with having the need to move up and down the tree endlessly
- so for the beginning at least, I have moved everything in a unique place
- this convention is subject to change
+There also is a working packaging for debian(s) and ubuntu(s) that we use
+on an almost daily basis to upgrade manifold.pl.sophia.inria.fr
+
+
+====================
+
+Third party tools shipped:
+
+* jquery
+* datatables
+* spin
+* bootstrap
+
+Others are added as we build the system when they become needed
+Look in third-party/ for a more detailed list
+
+As a rule of thumb, please try to keep in mind that these will need to
+be upgraded over time I've tried to keep track of the version I picked
+and to have an easy upgrade path (depending on the way the original
+package is published)
