Ronny, in addition to trying the software, I would humbly suggest that
you as well read the documentation on the projects site and stuff at
www.supermemo.com to see other concepts of staggered repetition.

Regarding Pauker, a good introduction (imho) to the underlying learning
concept can be found at http://www.flashcardexchange.com/leitner.php
