Interesting, but looks way too complicated for kids (just my opinion)... it has 
more features than our Sugarised version of abiwrite!

We already have Assimilate, a flash card activity written natively for sugar 
from Urko Fernandez Roman, but it had little support/encouragement from the 
community at the time of writing and has probably bit rotted and in need of 
some final polish. If any one has free time and is looking for an activity to 
pick up and move over to Sugar labs infrastructure, the original repository is 
here:

http://dev.laptop.org/git/activities/assimilate/

I particularly like the ability to download existing decks.
This would be a good thing for Sugar/XOs.

In fact, it's even written in Python, so supporting it in Sugar should
be straightforward. Do we have a page on the Wiki where we can put
such activity ideas?

[IAEP] Anki - open source memorization tool.

2010-03-10 Thread Caroline Meeks
An open source memorization tool.  Looks simple and cool and already runs on
Linux, might be a good addition to Sugar.
