I was trying out http://ankisrs.net/ and thought that it would be nicer, if
one could learn stuff from within emacs.
So I threw together https://github.com/warsus/org-lrn, which basically
implements the supermemo-2-algorithm (
http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm) and stores everything in
org-file format, so it should be really easy to share and collaborate on
decks.
Also you can use the nice org-capture to really quickly add new entries (see
the example configfile).
It's probably not much more than a prototype and i'm a pretty busy, but
thought the concept was useful enough to post it.

Great concept. I do recall this coming up before. Would you be able to
summarize differences between this and org-drill?
--- Worg summary: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-drill.html
--- Repo: https://bitbucket.org/eeeickythump/org-drill

I've used Anki, but have not looked into org for these purposes, but
would certainly consider it since I take a lot of notes in org for
work and home learning.

Great idea and way to take action on it!

You just need to make org-lrn better than org-drill now :) 

In any case, if you feel like org-lrn should be listed here

  http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/index.html

please send a patch against this file:

  http://repo.or.cz/w/Worg.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/org-contrib/index.org

Thanks!
