I guess we should speed up process of creating library.sugarlabs.org in
that case.

I see two points here:
* merge(in some form) Objects Bundles [1] to last sugar and backport it
  to 0.84(0.82?)
* choosing the way to deploy these Object Bundles [2]

In case of [1], in email thread[3] there are suggestions to utilize
existed(non-sugar) data formats to packages Objects Bundles, I think
we can start from simple(and already utilized in sugar) INI .info
format. Later(even in 0.86 release cycle), after getting feedback of
using library.sugarlabs.org we can switch to something different.

In case of [2], I've heard about two(?) options:
* Moodle on XS
* Mozilla framework which already using for ASLO
