CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

No we did not manage to get to it in 2.0. A code contribution to implement this in 2.1 would be fabulous. This would replace the current CAPTCHA mechanism that we have in core. This is an excellent project to get started on

While voting for it is a good thing, unless someone steps up and writes it or helps fund the development it is likely to remain in its current state. You might want to consider hiring a developer to get this done.

writing a hook to reuse a CMS's captcha functionality is not necessarily faster / easier. Standalone does not have any additional support outside CiviCRM that we can reuse. We also use a different form library than drupal which makes integration a bit more challenging

Please consider that the people using your product do not have the resources to consider hiring anyone, let alone a developer, since most of them are likely non-profit or volunteer orgs. Including mine.

Im excited to hear this will be included in a near-future release, and I am happy to assist in whatever way I can.

We do understand and agree to a large extent with the above. At the same time, we need to constantly push / nudge the community to contribute back to the code base / community / product. Open source projects flourish (or die) on that premise.

We do have a lot of great ideas and feature requests coming in than we can realistically implement. We'd like to encourage people to think about contributing back some of the features that are crucial to their organization. This also sets up the expectation that things are more likely to happen if the requestor helps move it forward.

giving back to the community can be done in multiple forms. helping with documentation / forums / testing are all super valuable. Actually some of our largest contributors (IMO) give back to the project by helping out on forums and doing a great job in testing.
