Here was my response: Perhaps: <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&complete=0&q=openoffice+%2B"flash+card"+templates&btnG=Search> Haven't tried it, but sounds interesting: http://www.opencards.info/ http://www.opencards.info/index.php/oc-download Also from my response about a similar item over on the Ubuntu users list: >> > Maybe Anki might be something you can use: >> > http://ichi2.net/anki/ >> > http://ichi2.net/anki/shots.html >> > http://ichi2.net/anki/wiki/ > Sorry, forgot to add that the info on the main page regarding Anki being > outdated in Ubuntu is only partially correct.

Regarding searching the archives; you may wish to drop using the regular mail list method and instead use an nntp client to post and review/read via gmane.org. Using gmane.org I can view (threaded no less) posts as far back as 09/11/2002. Sample: From: Chris Halls <[email protected]> Newsgroups: gmane.linux.debian.user.german,gmane.comp.openoffice.questions Subject: Re: keine Hilfedateien in OpenOffice.org (openoffice.org-help-de) Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2002 20:50:12 +0200 ... http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions You'll also be able to see/use the full threads if you look at any header posted via gmane.org. For example, the thread regarding your query on flashcards: From: "Mark C. Miller" <[email protected]> Newsgroups: gmane.comp.openoffice.questions Subject: Flash Cards Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 08:24:01 -0400 contains this header: Archived-At: <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions/207636> So I simply go to that url <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions/207636> and I can see your archived original post. Now I wish to view the entire thread I simply click the 'Go to the topic' in the left pane, and end up here: <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions/207636> Further, by using nntp (newsreader) you don't end up having to download tons of email, or reply via email. This is particularly effective if, like me, you participate on many different mail lists daily. Go green, save some electrons, and give it a try. BTW: you can also use gmane.org for thousands of mail lists (inluding the Ubuntu users list): http://gmane.org/ There are currently 12,257 mailing lists subscribed to Gmane, with a total of 97,624,515 messages. http://gmane.org/about.php & thank <diety> for the good efforts of Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
