Hi everyone!

I have recently started to work on building an online flashcard software with the eventual goal to complement tools like Mnemosyne in an online environment. Currently I'm still in the planning stage, deciding on what I really want to do, when, how, and in what order.

I'm asking here because I want to integrate with Mnemosyne, using a file format that both sides can read so it's easy for users of both to study online or offline, as they like. If it goes well, maybe we could even have Mnemosyne automatically synchronize local data with the server, fully transparent to the user.
On the web platform itself, I'm planning to offer the core features (i.e. flashcard study, data management, some statistics) in a fast, easy and efficient way like Mnemosyne does, so it can be used just for data synchronization as well as for study when you don't have  a Mnemosyne installation available.

What do you think? Could this be interesting for you? It's not a commercial project, I'm just doing this for fun and in the hope that others might find the result useful, too. I wrote some more about this in my development blog, you're welcome to take a look. I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas, whether it's here or over at the blog!

Hi Chris,

If you want to interoperate with Mnemosyne, you need to implement the
openSM2sync protocol. You can find it, together with some docs, in the
openSM2sync directory of the source.

Good luck with your endeavour!

Hi Peter!

Great to know there already is a protocol ready to use! I'm not at that point yet, but it will be a very important feature for me to provide. Do you know if anyone has done a Java implementation of openSM2sync before?

Thanks for the advice!
Chris

Only Python, I'm afraid, but the protocol is just XML.
