		Doctor_Fegg on Oct 24, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Maptcha: An Experiment in Map-Based CAPTCHA At OpenStreetMap we would love a map-based CAPTCHA that actually contributes to our map. Right now we (like most people) use ReCAPTCHA on our wiki... which has the rather exasperating effect of contributing map data (StreetView house numbers) to our main competitor, Google. On the upside, you can usually type a wrong number into the ReCAPTCHA. ;)

I'd love to help - drop me a line at [email protected] and maybe I can help devise a method that can fulfill both your aims.
