Collections
Like the Activity Grid, this is a grid of content bundles, asset libraries and other materials available for download to the laptop. Content bundles on this page should have been tested to some degree on a build, and should indicate which builds they work on. Click on the name of any bundle for detailed information.
If you have a content bundle that's ready for public consumption, please add it to the grid. If you're not sure about its readiness, you can add descriptions and links to the talk page.
- The content page has general information about contributing content.
- Content bundles has information about creating a content bundle.
- The current version of the OLPC Library is here

Stray Bundles
Help figure out what these are, then put them in the grid.
To-do
- Update the browser mime-type list so it knows how to unpack and stow away content bundles
- Update the library main page to generate its navigation dynamically from its directory list
- Publicize this standard to people with game, audio, video, text, and other libraries; including activities that are registering mime-types with the browser and want to offer a way to browse their projects without launching them directly: for instance, Etoys should automatically produce a content bundle linking to its projects on the laptop build... perhaps with a section linking to other projects online.
