Hi, Interesting idea! Creating a plugin where you tinker with the parameters of the scheduler should not be too hard. You can look at the 'example_plugins' directory to get you started. In case you need more explanation, don't hesitate to get in touch!

I was wondering, has anyone here seen any programs or applications or systems which allow the user to systematically regularly reread old documents such as emails or clippings (eg Evernote), on a schedule in which each item is reread at ever more distant times, thereby bounding to a small number of total rereads? The benefit is one of serendipity, discovering new connections, or facts/quotes which have changed considerably in the light of subsequent events, that sort of thing. I've always found rereading my old emails periodically to be helpful, and extensive clippings in my Evernote account to be useful too in refinding references; but doing it manually is a lot of work and can result in wasted rereads. So a more systematic approach might be useful, which calls for a tool to track individual items, queue them up for review, schedule a next appearance, and penalize/upgrade items. A more thorough discussion: https://www.gwern.net/Statistical%20notes#program-for-non-spaced-repetition-review-of-past-written-materials-for-serendipity-rediscovery-archive-revisiter This is semi-relevant to spaced repetition systems since it involves review over increasing time spans of documents, but without the goal of memorization & use of the forgetting curve, so I don't think Mnemosyne could be used *directly* for this, even if you dumped in snippets for everything as text... You could try to by putting them in one category and then rating them '5' to push them far out, but I think this would wind up showing them too often anyway? Maybe a plugin changing the scheduling algorithm to be more aggressive? -- gwern -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
