I wasn't referrring to IIAB or LibraryBox, but they're very interesting and
I'll learn more. Do you know if anyone has used either of these systems to
run a local instance of PubMed? The NLM's applications require a lot of
higher-end command-line knowledge to use. I'm interested if anyone has
produced an offline system for searching Pubmed that is user friendly and
suitable for resource-austere settings.

We, at WikiProjectMed Foundation

Four or five years ago, I had a neat gadget that was a stand-alone,
non-networked Wikipedia instance. I have no recollection of what it was
called or where it was available from. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Is there anything new along these lines that is being produced for
distribution in resource-poor settings?
