[OSM-talk] OSM and Captcha
Hi, Maybe this topic has been already raised, sorry if so. When editing the OSM wiki and adding links, there is a -are-you-really-a-human-being check (what makes completely sense) through Captcha. My concern is that currently Captcha requests to put a number from a picture that is actually a photo from a great existing address. And the result, if I am not wrong, just feeds Google address database. Can we not switch to another checking system? There are others, actually less cumbersome, that do not feed a totally copyrighted database?

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM and Captcha
The last discussions about this that I can remember (and find with a quick search) were OSM-talk threads: - Hate captchas starting March 14, https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2014-March/069320.html and the follow-up to it - ReMAPTCHA Demo BETA 0.2 online! (Was: Hate captchas) starting March 28, https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2014-March/069526.html Cheers, -Jaakko -- jaa...@helleranta.com * Skype: jhelleranta * Mobile: +505-8845-3391 (Nicaragua) * Voice(mail) / SMS / What's app: +1-202-730-9778 * http://about.me/jaakkoh On Sat, Aug 16, 2014 at 11:51 AM, Severin Menard severin.men...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Maybe this topic has been already raised, sorry if so.

And the result, if I am not wrong, just feeds Google address database. Yes. And that's why Stefan Keller (or one of his students I think) created ReMAPTCHA to have a captcha system helping OSM. The dicussion was on this list in March 14 (can be found in the archives: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2014-March/069526.html) Peda -- ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Hi Severin, hello all Yes, ReMAPTCHA is still running as prototypes in two versions here: http://remaptcha.herokuapp.com/ and here: http://remaptcha2.herokuapp.com/ On one hand I'm not sure how high its acceptance is and on the other hand it's challenging to implement a reliable system having limited time and resources.
