Reto Stamm <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: Not LGPL! 
Package: LibLearn
System name: liblearn
Type: 1

Description:
This library is allowing applications like LingoTeach and MajorTeach to 
remember what the User\'s brain has retained. 

LibLearn notes all the Users Exposures to every piece of Information. It also 
notes all the Challanges the User has been exposed to and notes if the User has 
answered correctly. 

All this information is stored in an XML file in the User\'s home directory.

After collecting all this information, liblearn allows the Application to show 
an \"interesting and important\" snippet of Information. It will, if used 
daily, repeat the appropriate information, first once per hour, then, once per 
day, every second day , every 4th day, once a week, every second week, then 
once a Month, and again 2 Months later. At that point, the knowledge should 
have been well absorbed inside the User\'s brain.

There may also be an application that allows the User to set preferences on how 
exactly this should work.

Also, liblearn may eventually try to get smart and try to optimize the learning 
intervals using statistical techniques. 

Other Software Required:
libxml, (GNU tools)

No code exists yet, but concept is fairly well thought out, and experience has 
been acumulated in my brain :)
