When you think flash card, think Mnemosyne

,----[ Quote ]
| While you use the software, Mnemosyne can keep 
| detailed statistics about your learning 
| process. If you want, these logs can be 
| uploaded easily and anonymously to a central 
| server for analysis. Researchers can use the 
| data to study the behavior of our memory over 
| a long time period. As an additional benefit, 
| the developers can use the results to improve 
| the scheduling algorithms behind the software.
