Announcing gredig, a collaborative language learning exercise.

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.
It's really fun, and a clever idea! Thanks for making it.
The only complaints I can make are that the pseudonyms seems randomsequences of letters and that maybe it could be useful for a reviewer toadd a comment explaining why he/she re-pharesed the sentence in acertain way. Oh, and a link from the "sentence page" back to languagepage (or to the "home" of the script cgi) would be handy :)
Cheers!
