Chinese-Vocabulary-Generator-Anki-Addon VS CrowdAnki

There's no easy way as of yet. The deck Ultimate Geography is made using CrowdAnki

You should take a look at this AddOn: https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki

The collaboration is based on Github and the plugin CrowdAnki (Which I think is amazing).

There's a serious need for tools to collaboratively build community flash cards. See /r/medicalschoolanki. However the tools they have aren't great - right now they have to collect eratta in a literal google spreadsheet. There's no native way to sync changes from a master deck to any "follower" decks. I believe that Anking is also working on this problem by building a very fancy website and plugin, ETA sometime this year I think. However even with this solution, you are required to use that deck's notes and note types. You can customize it after downloading the update, but any subsequent updates will overwrite your customizations. There are custom fields that are intended to be customized by users, but now you're stuck on that note type. Also, every deck change has to go through some central committee, and I'm trying to build something more decentralized. I'm gonna assume that Anking doesn't really want to maintain a language learning deck. With my thing, anyone can publish any deck/card, and anyone can subscribe to it, receive notifications upon updates, and be able to merge changes without overwriting their customizations. (Or, if they do, it's easily undo-able. Yay event sourcing.) There are other ways to collaboratively build decks like CrowdAnki, but it means that people have to learn git. That's kinda a nonstarter. Also with Anki, you have to share decks, not cards.

However it isn't as powerful as what you're asking for. If you're looking for source control, this exists: https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki

That's a pretty good idea. It's basically taking https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki and giving it a better UI.

The templates included are more than just the ones that are shown. To use them, you simply have to get the deck, which you can either download from AnkiWeb, this is easier but might also be outdated, or you can use the CrowdAnki add-on and import straight from the GitHub repo of this project.

How do you make these and have you considered using something like crowdanki to host these on github? Based on your other comments it seems like you're relying on translators, which makes me think having some sort of verison control would be good. Similarly, it would let people make extended versions just by forking. You could also show the languages you're developing.
