Write a Mnemosyne front-end activity for Sugar

[quozl]

Mnemosyne is a program for memorising things using a spaced-repetition technique with self-assessment.

Wrap Mnemosyne in a Sugar activity, using the toolbar for Mnemosyne's menu options, and the activity canvas for all the windows that Mnemosyne shows.

Include a set of premade cards relevant to an elementary school child, and provide a way to select the set for memorisation. Keep memorisation history in the Journal.

I'd also suggest weighing Anki and Mnemosyne against each other. I've personally stuck to Anki (though I did fall off the SRS wagon) and come to admire it's community.

My $0.2 on why Anki is a great option:

• Excellent community, even their unofficial subreddit is pretty active.
• Lots of plugins contributed by devs. For example, there was this one plugin that lets you copy-paste code snippets and retain formatting. Helped me.
• Plenty shared decks.

However, I did find it irritatingly sophisticated at times. Mnemosyne says it has a zen like interface, but I'm yet to meditate on that.

Anki's really gone to become the de-facto for opensource spaced repetition software, so do consider taking a look :)
