Tadoku's gone? What happened to it? Also, I discovered the 6 week challenge about 5 weeks too late so I've been itching for something like this. I'm definitely in.

You can always use the Tae Kim clozed delete deck that's up on Anki's shared decks. I'm going through it right now and it's pretty nice. There's also a deck for DoBJG that you can use.
