These are collections of references, images, books, and other content bundles available for download to the laptop. Collections on this page should have been tested to some degree in a build, and should indicate which builds they work on. Click on the name of a collection below for detailed information. For creative bundles and tools, see Activities.
After downloading a content bundle, if it does not install automatically : 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 the .xol mime-type is downloaded.
If you have a collection that's ready for public consumption, please bundle it up and add it to the grid. If you're not sure about its readiness or how to package it, add descriptions and links to the talk page.

Update 1 collections
Here are collections for Update 1.
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.
