Re: [Israel.pm] Creating A FOSS Project Similar to Rosetta Stone
I may be able/willing to help (not with coding, but with testing), but I am not familiar with Rosetta Stone which I will short to RS. Some more specifics would be welcome - what language do we want to teach? English? Hebrew? Spanish? For Spanish there is Pythonol. What specs of RS do we want to emulate? Even if we want all features, we should start with a smaller set. What approach do we take to programming? Interpreted language or compiled language, and in either case, which one. Do we aim for Linux, OS-X, Windows variants, or all of the above? Zvi.
