Project Title: Words - Computer Aided Vocabulary Management for Language Learning.

Learning languages often involves a certain amount of raw vocabulary learning, and the student can often spend much time managing stacks of flash cards, lists of words 'to learn', creating these cards and lists, and looking up definitions for words in dictionaries. The end result is a system which is sluggish and boring for the student, and implementing techniques such as the Sebastian Leitner learning method difficult enough not to bother.
Words will aim to implement a systematic, but flexible, and importantly *usable* system for the user to manage a complete cycle of vocabulary learning for whichever language the student is studying. It will manage the process right from when the user encounters a new word, through its definition and learning (using various techniques, ie quizzing) and revision.
