I'm in the process of creating a website where I'd like to use a spaced repetition algorithm. I would like to use the mnemosyne algorithm for its simplicity and the possibility to contribute to research. The problem is that I don't like to license my other code under a GPL license which I'd have to do.
Programming the algorithm isn't the hard part I think, as it is based strongly on the SM2 algorithm. But what about research? I think if I implement my own version of SM2 the resulting implementation would be different from yours and therefore I'm not sure if this data could then be of any help. Based on this I have a few questions: 1. Is research even happening? 2. How do you collect the data (database, flat files)? Which information is needed? Can I contribute with another algorithm implementation? 3. Would you be interested in reprogramming the algorithm and releasing it under another license, eg. MIT, BSD or LGPL. May be creating a open library which others can use? And may be also an open format to collect repetitions and gradings for resarch. I already saw the OpenMemo project http://code.google.com/p/openmemo/ which aims to develop a more open algorithm implementation. But the documentation is very sparse and I have to admit that I haven't contacted them yet. What do you think?
