For what I have understood, this kind of software (and Parley) implement algorithms to schedule the cards proposed to you. These aim at optimising your learning, by asking you more often what you don't know, and less what you have already acquired. If you don't go for reuse, do you plan to implement such features? It is on the TODO list. Anyone that would like to dive into this is welcomed. Perhaps some libs or code of other flashcard applications can be ported to openmoko and reused by this application.

I don't have any new card collections. I designed it just to train myself on verbal conjugations. If there are any outstanding bugs/enhancements, please let me know (which is why I asked about the SCM and bug tracker). If it does't have one, perhaps we should put it up on Google code or some place see above, I prefer sourceforge Thanks ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Improved PyFlash 0.3
Hi all, An improved PyFlash application for learning words, sentences and other factual data via flashcards on your OpenMoko is out. However still in development, it can be installed and tested, see: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Pyflash and http://www.opkg.org/package_198.html It also works on your laptop or desktop. Feel free to send feedback, or beter yet, contribute collections of flashcards that can be packaged with it.

Feel free to send feedback, or beter yet, contribute collections of flashcards that can be packaged with it. It warms my heart to know that my little project is helping you guys out. :) thanks for doing the bulk of the work I'd like to help in contributing fixes/enhancements to the product. I've never really developed anything for the openmoko platform. I couldn't find the sources for the app which was advertised on the links above. Are there any developer guidelines? The source code should work on all PyGTK platforms. Personally I develop with Eclipse + PyDev + PyLint (the current PyLint residual warnings are here to stay). The colon and semicolon format of the flashcard files should be as flexible as possible and the application should be able to deal with most combinations or omissions in a flexible way. the example with kanji is very extensive, most of the flashcards will be represented in a more simple way. Here you can find the source: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Pyflash download the opk and extract the source code as mentioned I have a 0.4 version with some improvements but I always have the problem with opkg.org that I can only upload when I create a new package, not when I edit one. Very annoying. I will mail it to the maintainer and he will upload it for me. That is the only way. I will do that after Easter. If someone has improvements, please email them. If you have an flashcard collection that can be packaged with it, please let me know.
