Hello all, ** Let me say the most important thing first: I will almost certainly be re-writing the source code of Mnemosyne to form two specialized branches. I can almost certainly do the raw coding by myself, but I might need help figuring out how to compile and package the programs for

Are you even using the 'Add question' keyboard-shortcut/GUI button? That was my first thought, since Mnemosyne doesn't support direct editing of cards in the review window, instead utilizing the Add Card and Edit Card windows. It's curious that she only specified answers, though, since one
