[OLPC library] Fwd: Re: [support-gang] Ready to Test: TamTamMini chapter for the Manual Refresh

[Holt]

Heroic work Caryl & Cherry, working into the night, I hope everyone can 
study this model chapter !  This will be perfect in helping us finalize 
the Chapter Style Guide Christoph & Seth are fixing up here: 
http://j.mp/xomanual#Style_Guide

PS I've fixed a couple unclickable links below ;)  As new contributors 
continue to grow here Saturday (get involved at http://j.mp/xomanual !) 
don't forget to BRING LUNCH/DRINK OFFERINGS + JACKET + HAT TODAY 1PM for 
Mako's **amazing** Japanese Blossom Fest on the Charles River 
<http://wiki.mako.cc/Ohanami> (blocks away @ MIT, our bust-out urban 
garden adventure at last!)
