Well, for my uses FlashKard was pretty much feature complete shortly after it 
went into CVS -- that's largely why there hasn't been much work on it.

In the time since then I've become a bit over-comitted so I don't mind someone 
else picking up where I left off.

The basics that I would ask are that:

*) Any program that replaces FlashKard should provide at least the features 
that it does (i.e. so that we won't have users complaining about it going 
away)

*) It should be able to use (if it doesn't default to) the shared file format 
that KVocTrain and FlashKard use.

*) It should not be specific to just studying languages.

*) It should be relatively simple in the interface -- FlashKard never had 
aspirations to be a KVocTrain replacement; that's simply more comprehensive 
and as such confusing than FlashKard.

I don't mind if FlashKard in its current form goes away (and in fact would 
encourage it to in the case that another similar app is imported to kdeedu) 
but I would like for there to be some continuity for users.
