Hey gyeh, thanks for the marketing idea. It's definitely going to be hard to sell to institutions and every bit helps. Plus, I'm taking Chinese 1 right now, and since the page is all in Chinese, I can practice translating what I'm able (and letting Google translate maul the rest).

Right at the moment we don't support any other dialects due mostly to development resource constraints, but Cantonese is on the radar. One thing I didn't mention in my opening comment was that we are going to expand it to Japanese in the near future, which should widen the number of people interested.

Yes, please add kanji to the system. I'm learning Japanese and use SRS's for kanji memorization, along with Heisig's Remembering the Kanji (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembering_the_Kanji). While Anki (http://ichi2.net/anki/) works wonderfully on my Gentoo system, a web-based option would be nice as well. However, beware of lag; that was one of the big drawbacks of Khatzumemo (http://www.alljapaneseallthetime.com/khatzumemo/), which was otherwise quite well-designed, IIRC.
Anki does have a web-based interface. Works great on the cell phone.
