This is a deliberately redundant retrieval, many files will be retrieved more than once, but "clobbering" (overwriting) is allowed, so this doesn't produce an excess of files. |

It would be really nice to have this, but it's probably not going to happen "The A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia includes over 4,000 articles about diseases, tests, symptoms, injuries, and surgeries. It also contains an extensive library of medical photographs and illustrations." |

Unfortunately, most of the images used on the health topic pages are from the non-free A.D.A.M. source, Mika may be able to help hunt down suitable replacements, see [[User:Mika#images]], which would be very nice. |

Maybe figure out a way to frame links to this site (only accessible with internet connection, not off-line version). The idea would be to use something like the Google translation template links so that the request is for the site at NIH, but via a google translation engine. This way, links are left in, people are sent to the original (in English), but also have one-click option to get it via a Google translated page. Yes, relying on Google to translate health ideas is not "a good thing", but it is better than not having any access at all to health information. |

Downloading raw materials
Starting with the content scrape
execute these 4 commands (requires wget)
wget -rp -l1 -o logfile1 http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics.html
Cumulative downloaded: 185 files, 2.8M
wget -rp -l1 -o logfile2 http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/spanish/healthtopics.html

This is a deliberately redundant retrieval, many files will be retrieved more than once, but "clobbering" (overwriting) is allowed, so this doesn't produce an excess of files.
See general version (not MedLinePlus specific) of a content bundling script being developed here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Content_bundle_making_script
Consideration of Copyright issues
Good guidance here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/faq/copyrightfaq.html
The homepage, the summaries on the Health Topics pages, the FAQs, and the same pages on MedlinePlus (en español) are all free of copyright and in the public domain by virtue of being U.S. Government works. There are however, deeper link levels that present content that is covered by copyright of various corporate sub-contractors that do not fall under the U. S. Government exemption from copyright.
Problematic areas
It would be really nice to have this, but it's probably not going to happen "The A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia includes over 4,000 articles about diseases, tests, symptoms, injuries, and surgeries. It also contains an extensive library of medical photographs and illustrations." Unfortunately, most of the images used on the health topic pages are from the non-free A.D.A.M. source, Mika may be able to help hunt down suitable replacements, see User:Mika#images, which would be very nice.
Maybe figure out a way to frame links to this site (only accessible with internet connection, not off-line version). The idea would be to use something like the Google translation template links so that the request is for the site at NIH, but via a google translation engine. This way, links are left in, people are sent to the original (in English), but also have one-click option to get it via a Google translated page.
