If somebody is looking to streamline their Anki/Mnemosyne card creation, I created this vim plugin a while back:

https://github.com/tbabej/knowledge

It takes a plain text note file and converts it to a set of cards. Syncs the updates if the notes change, and also supports things like images.

I don't have as much time as I used to for open source development, and could certainly use some help (especially on the Anki side, as I am a Mnemosyne user now).

Note that this allows you to not only have a set of flash cards, but also a nice collection of notes grouped by topic, if you want to have an overall look at the section of your domain knowledge (say, linear algebra) in context. This is a bit hard to do with a set of cards already entered in a flash-card application.



Besides there are several scripts that make flashcards from text files for Anki. My favorite at the moment is [anki-editor for emacs](https://github.com/louietan/anki-editor) because it stores the anki note-id in the org-file so that I can update existing notes in Anki (contrary to most other scripts I know).
