Hey folks, I just wanted to offer the reCAPTCHA team's willingness & desire to contribute in discussions relating to CAPTCHA implementations. When I was talking with Gregory off list, this topic came up, and I mentioned that many CAPTCHA-discussions have lead to bad results when people who have not implemented CAPTCHAs weren't involved in the conversation. A comic example of this was captured on xkcd: http://xkcd.com/c233.html The "cartoon" is simply a drawing of a web page that says "To complete your web registration, please prove that you're human: When Littlefoot's mother died in the original "land before time", did you feel sad? <radio button> yes <radio button> no (bots: no lying)" We'd like to see CAPTCHA related discussions result in recommendations that can be implemented in the real world and that can be used even in the face of skilled attackers yet are still accessible to a large number of people. I think we can best achieve this goal by working together. -b
