Another thing on the more technical side from me. This is something I initially made a couple years ago, but have updated as called for--most recently with the Factory groups.

If you're not familiar with Anki, it's a program with versions available for many devices and operating systems that's used for spaced repetition learning. If you're not familiar with that, it's basically like flashcards that automatically adjust how often they show up based on how correctly you've been answering them. Screw it up all the time, it shows up every day. Keep getting it right, eventually it won't bring it up again for multiple years.

So as I said, I initially made this when I was much newer around here and trying to familiarize myself with H!P present and history. In this case by better recognizing members by sight. For each member the "question" would be an image of them, with the "answer" being their name, probably a nickname, and when they were in what group. Almost all images I used came from here. I picked 4 for each, trying to get a variety of looks. This is not so easy when adding the legitimately newer people who may only have a handful of pictures spread through a year or two. Put them through a resizing process so they fit well on the screen (I'm using an older Kindle Fire model), and tada.

I've never got it as far as being completely exhaustive--it's got current and former members of the current groups (+ then-current Berryz Koubou). So it's still lacking in Sheki-Dol, for instance. Right now it's 97 members across 388 cards.

Sample "question":

Now with answer shown:

A card that's been around a while, with much longer times between appearances: If anyone actually wants to check this out sharing it wouldn't be difficult, though I'd first want to do at least some minor updates, mostly noting members who have graduated or otherwise left since I added their card.
