Hi there,
Is there any chance an option can be added in Fossil whereby, when/where a 
captcha is required, the task is to answer a question instead? I say this 
because, as a totally blind screen reader user, captchas are generally 
inaccessible to us.
Ordinarily, most sites have an audio captcha feature (I fully appreciate that 
would possibly be difficult to add). Where this isn’t an option, there are 
helpers out there that OCR and clear the image to give us the answer (Again, I 
appreciate that helps us but totally undermines the reason for the existence of 
the captcha in the first place). Fossil seems not to employ either of these 
methods but instead represents it with bars and underscores (I actually thought 
it was some sort of bug when I found it, until I read that it used a 
captcha-style password representation). This is why I thought of the idea of a 
question (such as a calculation, or even a user supplied one), as an 
alternative option.
Just my thoughts.
Cheers.
Damien.
