Thanks in advance to everyone who's responded so far! Please feel free to keep volunteering. I might not be able to involve everyone, but would rather have too many on my list than too few, especially since people's availability can change.
Si, the native reviewer is pure wikitext using an Anki/SM2-like algorithm, with each card in a tiddler and fields keeping track of the scheduling information (right now it just tracks ease, interval, and the next due date, but I'd like to track lapses and maybe review history in the future as well). The cards aren't fully randomized at the moment – right now it just filters on all the cards due today or in the past and does the first[] operator and shows that card – but that's just a matter of plugging in a randomize filter operator from somewhere. I literally just started writing it on Tuesday and it's still very much in active development, so I'm not ready to share anything yet, but I do eventually hope to make it into a plugin that complements TiddlyRemember, perhaps bundled with the other mnemonic-medium features. The primary weakness for someone not used to TiddlyWiki or spaced repetition is needing to download the wiki and identify a method of saving to keep their progress, which might scare people off from the start. Obviously, in this use case that's not a big problem since the content is about learning TiddlyWiki, but it might limit the broad usefulness of the tool. A really cool addition would be a web service that could automatically clone a copy of the wiki out to a cloud-hosted location for the user (maybe embedding the access credentials in the wiki as it did so?).
