I'll try again. The last time I didn't include the source packages >< I noticed a few problems and fixed them too.
I'm the author of a Japanese study tool called JLDrill. I am not a Debian developer, so I am looking for a sponsor to upload it into Debian. I'm still learning about Debian, so please forgive me if I make mistakes :-) Name: JLDrill License: GPL3 with provision for GPL2 redistribution Description: Japanese language drill program JLDrill is a program for helping people study and drill various aspects of the Japanese language. Current features include a variety of drills (kana, and vocabulary) a kanji and dictionary reference tool inspired by the firefox plugin Rikaichan, kanji stroke order diagrams, and vocabulary collocations using the Tanaka corpus (a series of example sentences in English and Japanese). JLDrill's drills use a spaced repetition algorithm which is unique to it. This algorithm helps with initial acquisition of vocabulary, automatically grades item difficulty and improves the ability to deal with inconsistent review schedules.

JLDrill has been in development for about 5 years and has undergone slow but steady development. I believe it will make a good entry for Debian since other spaced repetition software programs do not offer specific language study features. Similarly, Japanese language study programs do not offer spaced repetition drill features. Combining the two dramatically reduces the amount of "busy work" that is required when doing self-study. My motivation for asking for inclusion is that my users are requesting it. Web page: http://jldrill.rubyforge.org/ Since the last time I submitted this request I have build the source packages. I have also fixed a few problems with the build-depends in the control file. Finally, I have removed some data files that probably weren't DFSG free (one in which I couldn't contact the author for license information and one which was CC-SA-BY-NC) I believe this fixes all the potential license problems.
