Hi Resolve, my cell still shows the same error, after the first page and enter, it freezes.  Midnite, Tokyo time.

Hey resolve, I have an idea for a new feature. It would be cool if cards could be dependent on other cards: that is to say, until the required cards are 'learned', that card wouldn't be introduced. Then you could just make a giant deck that introduces new cards when the time is right.
  Take for example RTK1 and RTK2. You could set it up so that each kanji from RTK1 is a card and that each group from RTK2 is a card. The thing is that each group from RTK2 wouldn't be introduced, until the proper kanji have been learned from RTK2. So you could have the cards in the deck, but Anki wouldn't show them until you've met the requirements.
  Taking it a step further, you could make each complex kanji in RTK1 have as requirements, the primitives that kanji contains. For example: anki wouldn't let you learn the kanji for risk until you had a learned the ones for sun and ear.
  Of course one question that comes up is this: When is a requirement fulfilled? Is it after you recalled it correctly x number of times, or would it based of the repetition time period? That would require some thought.

  Hypothetically speaking, one could have a deck with basically three cards. More if you're not just doing RTK.
   *First would be the primitives/kanji that are primitives.
   *Second would be kanji that depend on primitives.
   *Third would be RTK2 reading groups dependent on kanji.
  Other ones that aren't RTK, but might want them as dependencies:
   *Fourth would be compounds or words that are dependent on the corresponding RTK2 cards.
   *Fifth would be sentences (for the AJATT　method) that depend the correct words       
    being known, along with the correct particles and grammatical concepts.
   *Sixth would be particles, pure katakana or hiragana words; grammar concepts

  Of course the problem with this is that after a while, a lot of cards would be waiting to be seen. You might learn a concept early and not get to the things that build off it forever. Also, you might want to learn a specific card, but it's not allowed. The last thing needed to round out this feature would be the ability to prioritize cards to be allowed. So someone could say I want to learn this card; and then Anki would show the requirements for that card first, so the card the person wants to learn is introduced as fast a possible.

To sum up there would categories cards would fall into if this were a feature:
-Scheduled for review
-Waiting to be reviewed
-Waiting to be seen for the first time
-Waiting to be allowed; these cards won't have a chance to be seen until their requirement are fulfilled.

  That's what I think. It could probably be extended to math or other things to. Personally, if it is going to implemented, I think it should be a special feature for the field. So you could add a field and then under 'Special features used by this field' you would just put the word requirements or something. Then in the field you could list the requirements. Someone could also (I don't know if this is possible) make an requirement-auto-analyzer as a plugin.

  I just think it would be really cool and useful.

Hi Resolve,
Question about using cell phone with ANKI
Do you know how can I check on my docomo phone if anki website is being `cached` with the initial startup ?

You may be interested to read the discussion that I had with resolve here:

I also thought that card dependencies would be a good idea but after using Anki for a good while now and thinking about this, I've come to the conclusion that the benefits are uncertain whereas the costs to implement are quite great. It's an interesting topic though.

It seems that the online interface now takes into account prioritised tags. I thought that it didn't before or am I just imagining that? Have there been any changes?

Does the online interface handle suspended cards in the same way as the desktop one?

wrightak: The web version is using the development version of the Anki library, which chooses the next card to display in a different order. Both the old web interface and new web interface honoured suspended and prioritized cards.

vosimura: Mature cards are cards that have been successfully remembered for a level 4 interval. So when you answer a card that has an interval of 9 days, before you answer, it is young, and after you answer, it is mature. Thus, for the purpose of statistics, the correct/incorrect answer is treated as an entry in the young statistics.

So mature cards are cards that have an interval > 9, using the default settings.

As for why that number is zero, that is indeed odd. Could you send me your deck?

yes

Heisig deck for "vmiura" on the server.  Or do you need my local deck?

I looked at your deck. Everything seems to be fine.

Perhaps "cards over a week" could be rephrased to be clearer. At the moment you have no cards over about 23 days. You scheduled a card at 'ease 4' and it gets an interval of, say, 8.4 days. The next time you answer it, it's given an interval of, say, 23 days. But the card is a 'young' card at 8.4 days, so the stats go in the "under a week" section. Once you answer the card again in 23 days, they will go in the "over a week" (mature) section.

Hmm, so I have to answer '4' 3 times in a row?  Anyway, just checking.

johnzep's statistics look more odd though; he has a lot of cards over 1.5 months but a lot less in the over a week section.  I guess he would have had to answer '4' at least 3 times on those cards already.

Edit: Come to think of it, all his review counts seem low compared to the number of cards at high intervals he has.  Does it count cards reviewed on different hosts?  johnzep, did you add a lot of cards and change the start interval when adding them?

Before 0.3.0, statistics weren't synced, so each computer kept separate statistics. That's probably it.

Not really :-) When I choose the name 'Anki', I googled it to see if it was already being used, and found the palm software, but the project was dead. Other names I'd been considering but decided against were Choanki (think 超暗記)  and AnkiNg (pronouced AnKing)

I have been thinking about the lack of a proper Anki forum.  It is really getting troublesome to read through 30+ pages of posts just to check if the question I want to ask has already been answered.  I know there is the Anki bug tracker and the faq.  I was thinking, since this is someone else's site anyway, could we at least get a "question" priority in the bug tracker if nothing else?

Hi Webber. Have you tried the sample decks that Anki installs? There are some JLPT decks to get you started.

By the way, Anki's "suspend fact" feature may be useful to you in skipping Heisig kanji that you don't want to review. I use Anki for RTK.
