Even though we are using a CAPTCHA on this site, we are still getting a few fake signups of new users. I'm thinking we need a few quick questions about who the person is that is registering as a way that will provide some content that will feed into our profiles. Collecting this info on registration will help admins filter the fake accounts.
Anyone interested in building this feature? If so, please comment here. What questions and fields should we have?
I was thinking: Real Name, drupal.org name, personal/business website
What else, Thoughts?

I'm not liking the CAPTCHA method, either
I've set up registrations to add other info to user profiles before, and it really makes it easier to determine if the user is genuine. It's amazing how little they try to get it right, even when given the answer on the page.
I think real first and last name is good. I also think most people will be using their d.o user name as their name on dug.lv, so maybe something else would be better. Maybe the name of the company they work for?
I'm trying to think of personal information that people would be okay with giving that could be easily verified but not easily made up, but I'm not really getting anything,
