Main place for news of this project is on a [https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/really-thorough-statistical-analysis-of-your-data/36355 thread in Anki forum] because most of the audience would be there.{{Project Infobox|Self researchers=User:DG|Related tools=Anki,Spaced Repetition|Related topics=Tools for Cognitive Testing|Related projects=Of Trivial Value?
