Hi all, if you introduce captchas on the OOOauthors-website, it is probably a good idea to use recaptchas. Recaptchas are a sort of [EMAIL PROTECTED] concept for books.
By entering the captcha, you do something useful - quote: "reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher." For more information see http://recaptcha.net/ So, just an idea for an improvement...
