Content Bundle Tools and Documentation

Bundles need to be easy to make. To that end, we need up-to-date documentation and user-friendly ways to create and submit new bundles. This project would result in:

• Documentation that reflects current bundle format and configuration files, cf. content bundles.
• Instructions for creating new bundles so that they can be recognized and viewed by Browse.
• A form for web-based library.info file creation.
• A form for web-based index page creation.
• A process for web-based bundle format validation/error checking.
• A process for web-based bundle creation and uploading.
