captcha, Captcha or CAPTCHA?
I have some food for thought about the use of the word "captcha" in the Drupal captcha modules.
CAPTCHA is the abbreviation for "Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart". Because it is an abbreviation, it should be spelled "CAPTCHA", (with upper case). In the Drupal captcha module we use "captcha" and "Captcha", as if it would be normal words. Some relevant sites where they use "CAPTCHA": http://www.captcha.net/ (the offical CAPTCHA site), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA .
Should we change in all the CAPTCHA modules the "captcha"s to "CAPTCHA"?
Initial release of Captcha pack
Hi all,
I was working for some time on a bunch of capcha challenges for use with the base Captcha module.
Today I finally imported them as the Captcha Pack module in Drupal's CVS and created a project page on drupal.org. Check out http://drupal.org/project/captcha_pack for more info about the available challenges.
Because Captcha v3 is still under development, I did not provide an official release of Captcha Pack. So if you want to try it out, you'll have to fire up your CVS client or wait until the CVS HEAD snapshot is available.
Feel free to test it and give feedback/submit issues.

Craziest Captchas on the Web
A just saw a webpage about the Craziest Captchas on the Web and thought it was pretty interesting. Some of these are pretty funny and unique. I particularly like the braille one.
When can we expect Captcha modules for some of these? ;-)
Read moreCaptcha 3.0 RC1 Released
Yesterday, wundo released Captcha version 3.0 RC1, which is a complete redesign of the old 2.x branch.
Captcha 3.0 RC 1 features:
- Complete redesign of the entire module.
- Image Captcha and Text Captcha are now provided as contributed modules within the module itself. No reason to download any other modules to make captcha work.
- Well documented API, so you're able to create a captcha challenge yourself.
- Ability to add Captcha challenges to any Drupal form using a nice user interface.
- ... and much more.
Should captcha support an different challenge for each role/point?
Captcha and page caching
As expected captcha does not play nice with page caching: the captcha system wants each form to have a different challenge. With the current implementation of captcha (and also my rewrite), when caching is enabled, each anonymous users gets the same challenge. Only the first user that requested the form will be able to successfully solve the captcha because the solution is in his session, all other users can't pass the captcha challenge.

Just a feature idea: automatic captcha solving with javascript
I was thinking about this idea to make captcha easier for normal (non spam) users.
What if the captcha module would also offer an option to to hide the captcha with client side javascript and solve the captcha with client side javascript? That way the captcha would be invisible (but still correctly solved on submission) for users with javascript enabled. It degrades gracefully for users without javascript enabled to the standard captcha. I guess it's possible to do it for the default math captcha. For the image based captcha's it is of course near impossible.
The basic premise to make this work is, of course, that spambots do not have a javascript interpreter. Otherwise it is just silly. I don't have an idea how advanced the spam bots are these days.
any thoughts on this?
