By distributing laptops and school servers with learning materials on them, and a global index of content that can be used with no modification on the laptops, OLPC is developing a network of digital libraries in a number of languages.
We are gathering a list of those materials. To add to this any materials you know of which would be free for laptop users to access, see content ideas. For more information on sharing your content if you are a publisher, author or collection holder, see Sharing your content with OLPC.
Subsets of large archives
There are some large archives available for inclusion in the content repository. Flickr and Wikimedia Commons; Project Gutenberg and Google Scholar; Wikipedia; WiktionaryZ / OmegaWiki and Dicologos; the Humanity Development Library and like collections; the list goes on.
There are tools being developed for identifying and culling subsets of large repositories. Small subsets will be needed for pre-installation of the choicest content on the laptops themselves. Larger subsets will still need curating to pick out material suitable for the laptop's audiences; classification and categorization; and checks to avoid unbalance or repetition. All content (aside from images and media that are naturally alingual) will need some processing to make localization easier.
