+#The IC and STRI displays#
+
+These run a slideshow based on web pages that are
+stored in:
+
+`/www/display` on `star` -- namely,
+
+`/www/display/ic-display.herts.ac.uk` and `/www/display/stri-display.herts.ac.uk`
+
+##To add or remove content.##
+
+Create a web page under these directories and then edit `opentabs.html`
+which tells the web browser running on the PIs which tabs to open.
+
+Examples of pages which just display an image are `seminar.html` or
+`swipe.html` -- they just display the corresponding large pngs.
+
+e.g. if asked to advertise a seminar, copy the png file provided by
+the seminar organizer to this location, include `seminar.html` in the
+list of files to open in `opentabs.html`, and reboot the pi.
+
+If someone sends something in another format, convert
+it to a PNG and then include it in a blank webpage.
+
+The research images are generated from a flickr image set originated
+by Hugh Jones. Username `stristri@yahoo.com`, password `al109abal109ab`.
+Upload new photos to the albums there and they will be picked up
+by the displays.
+
+##Raspberry Pis##
+
+###SSH Access###
+
+The raspberry pis are on the internet as `ic-display.herts.ac.uk` and
+`stri-display.herts.ac.uk`. The username is `pi` and the password is the
+standard admin password beginning with r. The only reason to log into
+them is to reboot them, e.g. if there are new pages to display.
+Log in with ssh and type `reboot`. This will prompt you for the
+password again.
+
+###Powering On and Off###
+
+Switch the IC display off when leaving on a Friday night and
+back on again on a Monday morning.
+The control button is on the bottom right of the TV. For more
+complex control requirements there's a remote control in Martins's office.
