Applications native to the XO laptop are called Activities. Click on an activity name below for information about design and development status.
- Creating an activity: start a description page and read our human interface guidelines.
- Installing an activity: see below.
- Specific collections: static content is available from the library grid. WorldWideWorkshop has childrens games and exercises with teacher guidelines, and the GCompris collection has many more childrens games, though some are still being "sugarized".

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.
