New stuff

I’ve got the new flashcard mode working now. Here’s a screenshot (using Adso btw).
Seems to work pretty well and is pretty useful. Opinions? As entries can have multiple definitions, I decided to just choose one (at random) to display. Mainly because I don’t think word wrap on radio buttons works with SWT and some of the definitions can get quite long.

I’ve gotten some more character list contributions as well. Stephen O’Connor sent me the complete set of lists for Beginner’s Chinese. Erik Dalén sent me a few chapters from the Swedish book Kinesiska: SprÃ¥ket i Mittens Rike. The more the merrier! Shamed by their work, I’ve started to create lists for the most frequently use characters. I’ve done the first 300 so far, in blocks of 100. I’m using this site http://www.zein.se/patrick/3000char.html as my reference. I think I’ll include the top 500 or maybe 1000 with the next distribution of the zdt. I hope people will find this work useful.
