This is great! I'm using Anki and Mnemosyne to manage spaced repetition right now, but integrating this with org-mode is /awesome/. Just one question... [snip] > 5 - perfect response > 4 - correct response after a hesitation > 3 - correct response recalled with serious difficulty > 2 - incorrect response; where the correct one seemed easy to recall > 1 - incorrect response; the correct one remembered > 0 - complete blackout. > > 3. If your answer is 4 or 5, the item will not be repeated. In my own experience, material /always/ has to be repeated. Especially when you're first learning something, those "perfect" responses will turn real shaky if you wait three months before you look at the items again. I believe this is how Anki and Mnemosyne work, too. Anyhow, I will look at the code, as it's probably easy enough to tweak, but I just wanted to mention this issue. Coming back to previous "perfects" after too long and finding them fuzzy can be quite disappointing. :) Thanks again for this!
