A less hilarious/sarcastic interpretation of this answer would probably be: readability is relative. Yes, our CAPTCHA is still not particularly legible, but that's of course partially by design, and it's better than it was before Aaron kindly regenerated the images. Plus, now we serve a refresh button with the CAPTCHA, so if you can't read that one you can cycle through them. In terms of pressing items with our CAPTCHAs, I would rank readability far below the following two items: 1. Support for the visually impaired. Currently the blind or those with severely poor vision are shit out of luck, and have to request an account (if they're lucky enough to be on a wiki where the community does this). 2. Non-English CAPTCHAs. For a project that prides itself on broad i18n support like MediaWiki, it is particularly embarrassing that we make everyone fill out a CAPTCHA generated from an English dictionary. There are probably bugs for both those items that I'm too lazy to dredge up right now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
