Quim Gil <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #25 from Quim Gil <[email protected]> --- fyi there is a proposal from the Language team for a mentored project about Multilingual, usable and effective captchas http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Multilingual.2C_usable_and_effective_captchas I have some reservations about featuring that project to Google Summer of Code or Outreach Program for Women participants, but I'm willing to be proven wrong. Reasons: * Unclear buy-in from the community or the maintainers. The whole CAPTCHA topic is messy, with several discussion threads, a RFC, a prototype, and potential plans. We don't have a clear plan for captchas. There hasn't been enough feedback about captchas based purely on images without any text, as this project proposes. * Bug 32695 - Review and Deploy Wikicaptcha. Is there and waiting for feedback. * I'm not a CS anything and I could be perfectly wrong, but the project feels too ambitious for three months, both with the amount of work required and the skills needed. With all this I see the risk of failure bigger than wished for a GSOC project, either because students will most likely lack the time/skills or because even a complete GSOC project would have a hard time ending up merged in our codebase. Feedback welcome. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
