Package: wiki.debian.org
Severity: normal
The account creation page
http://wiki.debian.org/FrontPage?action=newaccount requires people to
pass a reCaptcha, which is annoying for able-bodied users and
downright impossible for some users with disabilities.
The login page http://wiki.debian.org/FrontPage?action=login
does not allow one to login with OpenID or something else that
is more accessible (like something created from our GPG key, maybe).

ACK. The use of recaptcha was an attempted fix to stop spammers
creating wiki accounts in an automated fashion, but it didn't work
very well in the end. Since I've added email address verification to
the new account creation process, recaptcha is no longer necessary and
I've just disabled it.
In the longer term, we're planning on moving over to a single sign-on
for Debian web services. That may take some time...
