Announcing gredig, a collaborative language learning exercise. => gemini://gemini.thegonz.net/gredig/v It's a simple CGI-based system I hacked together yesterday, running on Molly Brown. The idea is to exploit gemini's international and altruistic userbase, and its incorporation of utf8, to help us share our linguistic expertise. You submit a sentence in a language you're trying to learn, then someone else expert in the language rewrites it, and you learn by comparing the two. Everything is fully pseudonymous, based on client certificate hashes. I'd be interested to hear what people make of the interface, and how well it works in various clients. For now at least it's all quite minimalist -- in particular there's no system to deal with abuse or free-riding. That could be added if it proves necessary, but I'm guessing it won't. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The only complaints I can make are that the pseudonyms seems random sequences of letters and that maybe it could be useful for a reviewer to add a comment explaining why he/she re-pharesed the sentence in a certain way. Oh, and a link from the "sentence page" back to language page (or to the "home" of the script cgi) would be handy :) Cheers!
