Applications native to the XO laptop are called Activities. Click on an activity name below for information about design and development status. For static content, see also library grid.

There is more information about activity development, OLPC Human Interface Guidelines, and installing an activity on other pages.

Two large collections of activities are from GCompris (most run well on an XO, though not completely sugarized yet) and WorldWideWorkshop.

Localization

Please note the l10n (aka Localization) elements of the activity (ie: the POT file/directory link — [http:link POT] or [[PO page]]. You should also link to the activity/l10n subpage with po files and status if it exists.

Installation

To manually install activities from a USB stick, go to the developer's console and type:
sugar-install-bundle /media/<USB stick name>

trial-3 update: when you click on an xo file from a browser, it will download; from the sidebar, add it to the journal; from the journal, resume the file. This will install the activity on your XO.

Activities will eventually be launchable or installable from the mesh, taskbar, journal, clipbar, and browser.
