Collections
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 how to do this, add descriptions and links to the talk page.
