Description : Redmine plugin adding a simple registration captcha
This Redmine plugin adds a very simple CAPTCHA question and answer to the account registration page.
The question and answer are the same for all people attempting to register on your site, and only
allows registration for someone who fills out the CAPTCHA answer field with the same value you set
in the plugin settings.
.
For example, you can set the CAPTCHA question to be a mathamatical equation requesting the user type
the answer. Or, you can set it to be a logical puzzle. You can even instruct the user to simply type
a specific word in the answer.
.
Obviously, this will not prevent sophisticated registration attacks. But it gets rid of the
low-hanging fruit of automatic registrations, particularly those who just want to flood a target
email address with spam.
I intend to maintian this package under the Ruby team umbrella.
