Released Content and Update

We have more released content, 24 questions from Feline Medicine Manson Q&A book and several reviewed pages:

        Avian Pneumovirus
Spring Viraemia of Carp
Infectious Bovine Keratoconjunctivitis
Sea Lice
Edwardsiella ictaluri

Don't forget to check out the flashcards that are created from each of the page's content. You can find the link to them at the bottom of the page text.


More content is being released as we go. 

We also really appreciate that we have been granted a project extension till the end of the year. We are sure we can deliver what we have promised, and lots more, but so far it is taking longer than expected. We have only minor issues with the Manson book, like quality of images and the fact that some of the pages on WikiVet that the questions link to still need to be checked. We are almost there with them though.

The CABI datasheets have all been re-written into WikiVet format but the bottle neck is with the review process now. We had approximately half of the pages returned but are still waiting on the rest. That means that the extra resources we hope to produce are also being held back. Once the pages are reviewed, they get translated into French and Spanish and podcasts are recorded from them in all three languages. Obviously, we do not want to do all this work if we then would have to change something!

We are also linking to the pages from Wikipedia. This work is nearing its completion too and we are already seeing some increase of traffic. The most obvious influence so far has been the links advertised via Twitter though!
