'''Libre Pathology''', abbreviated '''LP''', is an open [[wiki]]-based [[pathology]] knowledge base.  It is directed at pathologists, but open to anyone that wants to gain insight into the world of pathology.


==Hardware==
==Motivation==
*Mac Mini.
Imagine a world in which pathology information is accessible to every person with an internet connection. A richer understanding of pathology, regardless of your background, can be enriching.


==Software==
==Philosophy==
*Mediawiki.
The philosophy here is deliver the goods straight and give a [[differential diagnosis|differential diagnosis]] and images or at least links to some. Tables are considered highly desirable and decision trees useful. Dense text is seen as a weakness.
*PHP.
 
*Debian GNU/Linux.
The site has no commercial sponsorship and does not run advertisements. The site is licensed with a creative commons license and the commitment to ''open'' is in the name; ''libre'' is ''free'' in French.
 
==Editors==
The site has a closed editorship. Editors are required to disclose commercial relationships and write from a [[LP:NPOV|neutral point of view]]. More details about editing Libre Pathology are found in the article ''[[editing Libre Pathology]]''.
 
==History==
[[Image:Atypical ductal hyperplasia - very high mag.jpg|thumb|250px|right|An image of [[atypical ductal hyperplasia]]. This image was in the first set of images incorporated into Libre Pathology.]]
This project grew out the realization that nuggets of wisdom scribbled down on a piece of paper are never to be found when needed most.
 
The finding little bits of information thing, in a pile of it, was a problem where the solution was already out there (it is called a database), and some guys had already made a really niffy interface using PHP, and then built one of the biggest damn web sites out there ([[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]).  Thus, the software that runs Wikipedia, was the obvious choice.
 
[[User:Michael|The guy that started it (Michael Bonert)]] passed [[FRCPC|the exam]] that motivated this, and then [[DABP|another one]]. Then, he realized the wiki is sort of useful... but could get even [[Editing Libre Pathology|better with the help of others]].
