[OSM-talk] OSM and Captcha

[Jaakko Helleranta.com]

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
