Preparing to remove official Memrise courses from My Little Word Land

neoncube

I've hidden the official Memrise courses from the courses list, so that new people won't enroll in them.

neoncube Thank you for your clarification.

To be honest, based on Mr. Ben's statement in the following post, I was concerned that his intention did not include the official courses.

7shi Indeed, after I posted that screenshot and reread it, I started to doubt myself XD

@[deleted] What about mems? I remember you saying that installing the function of mems in MLWL is not in your to-do list. I respect that, but can you negotiate with Memrise about releasing the database of mems somewhere so that they won't be lost forever, because Memrise doesn't seem to have the plan to reintroduce mems into their product?

neoncube [KEEP] the official Memrise courses and leave the rest of the course still intact

This would be my preference.

I think it's only the Videos that are probably covered by this issue.

The alternative audio (speech) could be by MemRise staff or even audio available via the internet.

And if not, the audio perhaps could be uploaded by people keen to look after the speechless version.

Is it worth asking that set of questions?

@[deleted] I tend to agree - sad.

To be honest, based on Mr. Ben's statement in the following post, I was concerned that his intention did not include the official courses.

DW7 In the emails I exchanged with Memrise, they were very polite, but I think they would rather us not have copies of the old or new Memrise courses on My Little Word Land. I'm fine with it 🙂

I'll miss the official courses, but I understand needing to remove them. 🙂 I'm just very grateful for the community courses and thanks so much for your hard work on this site.

Thanks, Cindy1100 🙂

johnastsang I have not developed the system myself. If Mems are not implemented in MLWL, I have no reason to negotiate with them.

7shi They need to either release it to the public or reinstall it in their product because it's not right to just let the effort of thousands of mem creators disappear forever.

johnastsang Since there seems to be no plan to implement Mems at MLWL, you will have to show another application for the Mems data in order to negotiate with Memrise. I think that it would mean creating something like MLWL or Deckacademy on your own.

Courses that were made by the Decks user have now also been removed.
