You can play basketball well if you repeat a dozen core motor skills with high precision 10,000s of times.
It interesting to ask how you best spread out those 10,000 repetitions but I don't think that Anki helps with that goal.
There might be other motor skills were a high number of repetitions aren't central where SRS is more applicable.

If you want to spread out your practices, you're going to have to start somewhere. The Supermemo algorithms are as good a starting point as any unless you're willing to hit the stacks and compare the musty motor skill studies head to head.
I'm interested in trying to make better Anki decks for the LessWrong community, but I want to see how well I can actually do this first. There's a lot of knowledge out there about how to format and create decks, but it's still a decent amount of work, and there are lots of people who would benefit from Anki decks, but who wouldn't make them themselves.
In order to test my deck-creation skills, I'd be willing to do a summary + deck of a chapter or two of a book, then release them to the community for feedback.
I have two questions:
These links are fairly useful/relevant.

As a side note: I still do intend to do this, but have been fairly busy with the start of this semester. If there's no progress by March 1st, then you should consider this to be on indefinite pause.
