I downloaded the Anki installer a couple of days ago, but haven't started poking and prodding at it yet. Does anyone reading this thread have any advice for a potential new user of this program, or any Spaced Repetition software in general?
For example, is there an Anki/SR forum you'd recommend for simple beginner questions?
(For examples of such questions: "Is there a decent, non-expensive version for iOS that you'd recommend?", or "If I wanted to try SR to start memorizing a subset of Lojban called Cniglic ( http://www.datapacrat.com/cniglic/ ), what should I know before I start filling out all the English/Lojban word-pair notes?".)
I put a fair amount of advice into http://www.gwern.net/Spaced%20repetition
The SRS page of the wiki has lots of links to useful things. The Supermemo pages especially have good advice on formulating knowledge as cards.
A few years ago I tried learning Esperanto via SRS, and it seemed to work well, but I stopped reviewing the cards because I realized that it was basically a waste of time - it was less entertaining than other sources of entertainment (especially once you've learnt all the cards and only have reviews left to do), and useless relative to other types of work I could do. I also tried Lojban but gave up for the same reason. Of course, your mileage/situation may differ.
I've also been interested in finding an Anki/SRS forum, but haven't found 1 specific place yet. Many people at Quantified Self also use it & they have forums, but they aren't extremely active.
Yes, if you want to get specific help on using Anki the Quantified Self forum is the perfect address.
