Forgot to mention that if you're describing 4-5 years ago, you probably remember Kiwix https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Kiwix_-_Wikipedia_Offline, which has kinda morphed into IIAB.

Hi Richard,
We, at WikiProjectMed Foundation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Project_Med, are manufacturing Internet-in-a-box https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB). This holds medical content and then some, and is a hotspot that 30 ppl can access.
Cheers, Shani Evenstein Chair, WikiProject Med Foundation.

Hi Richard,
Might you be referring to Jason Griffey’s Library Box http://librarybox.us/ (modeled after Pirate Box https://piratebox.cc/faq)?

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?
