Revision as of 04:34, 10 January 2008
These are collections of references, images, books, and other content bundles for download to the laptop. Collections should indicate which builds they are tested with. Please click on the name of a collection for details.
To install a collection by hand : unzip it into /home/olpc/Library (creating that directory if it does not exist) and run /usr/share/library-common/make_index.py . This should happen automatically when a file with .xol mime-type is downloaded.
If you have a collection for public consumption, you can bundle it up and add it to the grid. If you're not sure about how to do this, add descriptions and links to the talk page.

To-do
Update the browser mime-type list so it knows how to unpack and stow away content bundlesUpdate 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.
