Such a system sounds great to me! If it's similar to the widget
formats supported by the Mac OS X's Dashboard, Konfabulator, and/or
Opera that would be even better, since it would tie into an existing
library of useful software. Basically, those use ZIP files with
various custom layouts,

Ben,
This is brilliant! Definitely brightened my day.
I just converted it to an xol bundle which you can try downloading...

You should create a page about it (and tell this story!) on our wiki...

JLearn (JQuery learn) is a simple program that allows you to learn anything
(if a quizz has been written of course!).
From japanese alphabet to maths, passing by world capitals, anything can be
learnt.

When you're zipping up the directory, if you add a metadata file in
this subpath:
library/library.info

Thanks!
A few questions, though:
1. Is there any reason I shouldn't start with your version 2 .xol as
