Is there some reason not to just make a page on the main web site and attach them? General commentary on the project as a whole: I find myself looking for a web service for flashcard stuff, and this seems decent enough. There is something I'm wondering about how you went about it, though: Why not get all the words up there even if you don't have audio for them? Can't you attach audio later? That way people who don't need pronounciation help can just use them. I don't think that having sound for every single gismu is really all that helpful, anyways; having sound for sentences is something else entirely, of course. As it is, it's basically completely useless for me to keep up-to-date on my Lojban memorization, which is sad. It seems to me that the right thing to do is to make cards for all the base words, then make sentences that use many of them and make sound for those (say, phrasebook type stuff), *then* make sounds for individual words. -Robin -- They say: "The first AIs will be built by the military as weapons." And I'm thinking: "Does it even occur to you to try for something other than the default outcome?"
