Several questions: # Will the action=createaccount be disabled by default? # If enabled, is the action=createaccount reserved to a specific user group? # At first blush this appears to be designed to enable xrumer bruting. Have you considered adding optional single-use otf image creation for fancy captcha, which would be more cost effective on small wikis? # There are several private modules for ConfirmEdit, as well as sites using different captchas based on ConfirmEdit (Asirra?) How might this interact with a site using a different (non-supported) captcha module?
