                I think the stored bundle should always be
                browse-200.xo. The latest is determined by the highest
                version number among those in the addon directory. This
                way no administrative step is needed when a new version
                is released - it just needs to be put in the directory. 
                So the structure would be: <br>
                <br>
                <a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org/4024/browse-200.xo" target="_blank">download.sugarlabs.org/4024/br<wbr>owse-200.xo</a>.
                Programmers seem to be culturally impelled to use a
                version number to convey all kinds of information. My
                favorite is Sugar which went from 0.98 to 0.100. THe
                only case I know of where 0.96 < 0.100. One of my
                attractions to Sugar was the refreshing decision to
                start activity versions with 1 and increment by 1 for
                each next version. Note that the file name of the bundle

                I should have given you more help with the static setup
                - it is one of Django's more irritating tasks. For
                historical reasons, my file system is structured <br>

                src='/static/icons/{{ json.icon }}'></img><br>
                <br>
                where /static refers to /library/schoolsite/static.
                Schoolsite is the Django project, static/ is defined in
                the settings:<br>
                <br>
                STATIC_URL = '/static/'<br>
                STATICFILES_DIR = (<br>
                    '/library/schoolsite/static/',<br>
                )<br>
                <br>
                If you get that right, the images should appear in your

                          <br>

                          <br>
