Libre Pathology news:New offline version of Libre Pathology
A new offline version of Libre Pathology is available at kiwix.org and will be updated quarterly by the team at Kiwix.
It has been a long term goal to give you the whole site. After all, libre (free), is in the name Libre Pathology.
We hope the offline version helps make pathology information available to those that do not have an internet connection or a less than optimal one.
User experience
Kiwix has a strong built-in search feature, and navigation otherwise is similar to online. The hyperlinks work.
Unfortunately, the short spot diagnosis quizzes and learning with simulated cases do not work. Images are lower resolution to make a file that is approximately 80 MB.

Acknowledgements
Special thanks go to Maxwell for his work on generating a new ZIM file and coordinating with Kiwix. An earlier offline version was inspired by Dr. Parkash.
Emmanuel Engelhart made this all possible. He did all the heavy lifting in this project; he developed Kiwix, initially that Wikipedia could go offline.
