A few years back I started to work on a Python library around Chinese called cjklib (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cjklib). The intention was to facilitate the creation of Open Source tools for language learners. I even built my own application on that, sadly only for KDE (https://code.google.com/p/eclectus/wiki/About).

To be fair I've done a few things wrong (up-front design, no feedback process). However, I still found the general response less then I had hoped for.

I hope there are still a bunch of hackers around that like to solve similar problems. One is certainly https://github.com/nieldlr/Hanzi and that would be something I hacked on if I was coming back to the world.

I've been pushing together a lot of Chinese functionality into this Ruby library: https://github.com/stevendaniels/zhongwen_tools
Awesome library :)
