Rules
In order to make this flashcard repository as useful as possible, please try to follow the following few rules when linking your own flashcard sets into this wiki
- All linked files should preferably be Impress presentations (*.odp). We accept links to PowerPoint (*.ppt), because they can be imported seamlessly into OpenOffice Impress, but OpenCards is OpenSource and we prefer standardized open formats like OpenDocument.
- No macros: Because macros are always a security risk, and there is no reason to use macros in flashcard files, please don't use them.
- Respect copyrights: Although we (the Opencards-project) prefer free licenses such as the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2, flashcard sets linked within this wiki are *not* required to be released under such a licence. Anyway, please make sure that your contributions to this repository respect existing copyrights. This includes especially that you don't use copyrighted images for your flashcards. If you're not the author/copyright-owner of a presentation which seems suitable for flashcard learning, you're welcome to link the original source directly into this repository (which should not violate the copyright in most cases).
- No relative links: When creating slides, included images might point to files on your local drive. These images won't be accessible on other users' computers. Therefore, to make sure that your cardset does not contain any local dependencies, please run "Edit->Links->Break Links" before publishing your files on this wiki.
If you consider these rules to be too restrictive or confusing, please discuss your issues and suggestions with us in our discussion forums. Flashcard files which do not respect these rules should be reported to the authors or to the OpenCards team.
Miscellaneous
- Because of the limited webspace available to the OpenCards-project it is not yet possible to upload cardsets directly. Please place your cardsets on an external webspace location and link them into this wiki. If you don't have access to any webspace, please contact the OpenCards team or use a file hosting service like mediafire or drop.io.
- Because our (the OpenCards team) English skills are humble please don't hesitate to correct grammar/typing bugs. :-)
- Because our time is limited, we can not afford too much time to administrate this wiki. Therefore - in order to avoid wiki-spam - a registration is required before flashcard files can be added to this wiki. If you have ideas or suggestions for improvements (or would like to join our team), you're welcome in our discussion forums.
- Although we favor open solutions for software development, we accept any kind of copyright. If you're a copyright owner and you think that some parts of the content of this wiki are violating your copyrights, please contact us in order to find a solution as soon as possible.
