28 ;; The file implements the learning algorithm described at
29 ;; http://supermemo.com/english/ol/sm5.htm, which is a system for reading
30 ;; material according to "spaced repetition". See
31 ;; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition for more details.
33 ;; To use, turn on state logging and schedule some piece of information you
34 ;; want to read. Then in the agenda buffer type
