Right now scores are with respect to any language that the app can recognize. However, in most cases the user will be interested in one or two languages that they speak, and scores should reflect the choice of language appropriately.

Right now we've uploaded data to github, but it'd be better to have the data accessible through download.

Currently the bot responds to all messages. It would be nice if the bot could respond to commands and provide information on request.

It would be nice if the bot could provide conversation prompts, that allow people to get something to talk about when they're stuck. (Idea from Pat Littell)

It would be nice if we could do language ID in many languages, maybe all of the languages in Wikipedia?

It would be nice if we could create scores that are more engaging: amount of vocabulary covered, etc.

It would be nice to be able to add dictionary entries.

Currently our language ID is just based on word lookup, it would be better if we had a more sophisticated method.

It would be nice to have spelling check for the translation capability.

Right now all the information in the bot is saved in memory and disappears when the bot is reset. It would be nice to have this information in a database.

Right now the bot can be used in a one-on-one setting with human+bot. However, the intended usage of the bot is that it listens to a human-human conversation and records the number of words spoken. It would be good to test it in this setting.

Right now it's hard to know how to use the bot unless someone tells you how to do so directly. It'd be good if there was a way to make it better documented so people can use it without instruction.
