  1. Open source Chinese learning software on Memorizing Language / Spelling Techniques? · · Score: 1

    People interested can check this project : http://code.google.com/p/laoshi/

    It is a Chinese learning software that includes :
    - Lessons viewer
    - Flash card game
    - A dictionary
    - Characters viewer
    - Tones recognition game
    - Database of learned characters

    I started the project a month ago and I am looking for interested people to contribute or give me feedback.

    The code is in python using gtk for the interface, the dictionary database comes from the cc-cedict project : http://cc-cedict.org/.

    Personally I just use graphic softwares for computer games drawings. Since I never print my work the bad CMYK support of The Gimp is not a problem for me.

    What really sucks in The Gimp is that there are no adjustment layers ! It is really annoying when you want to change the colors of some part of the image

    I can't wait for GEGL to be included in the gimp for that reason !

    Anyway I think some clever guys should try to create a new open source image retouching project not written in C. So here is my advice for someone who has time to kill :

    1- create a graphics library with hight meta computing optimization in the D language
    3- create a GUI app over it
    4- add python plugins capacity
    4- profit !

    Don't reinvent the wheel.

    For example right now I have to work with a code made by other people, with there own lousy implementation of a regular expression parser. Crazy. not only it is probably full of bugs, but it also makes me waste my time having to learn there API that I will never use again.
