Content packages

NOTE: The contents of this page are not set in stone, and are subject to change! This page is a draft in active flux ... Please leave suggestions on the talk page.

These are sample materials being reviewed for content releases.

Material that has already been (or is in the process of being) packaged for the XO is listed on the library grid page.

You can help by:

• Adding new collection suggestions, in all languages, to content repository and its talk page.
• Reviewing/curating proposed collections. See below.
• Packaging collections. See creating a content bundle.

NOTE: For some of these archives, Content repository may have links to OLPC-specific selections. Check there when creating/updating each archive page. Relevant info to check for each archive: Curators and coordinators

PROCESS: Template:content item can be subst'ed into a new item page... though it could use updating. Once finalized, insert the template content into each new wikipage with {{subst:content item}}. Press save, then you can edit.
