Forgot to mention that if you're describing 4-5 years ago, you probably remember Kiwix, which has kinda morphed into IIAB.

Hi Richard, 

We, at WikiProjectMed Foundation, are manufacturing Internet-in-a-box (IIAB).
This holds medical content and then some, and is a hotspot that 30 ppl can access. 

Cheers,

Hi Richard,

 

Might you be referring to Jason Griffey’s Library Box (modeled after Pirate Box)?

Subject: [libraries] Wikipedia-in-a-box

 

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?
