Wiki Captcha

Hey guys,

I just updated the uDig confluence licence.

Some spammers are having their way with the wiki; would you mind if I  
turn on the "captcha", so we can stop these monkeys?

In the meantime, I am deleting bogus users.

Cheers,
Cory.

Sure; want to notify refractions admin about the change of policy?

The confluence captcha settings look good (you only need to do the  
captcha if you are not logged in or are creating an account), but the  
captcha image currently doesn't show up... which is a little too  
aggressive.

We'll need a friendly volunteer from Refractions to help configure the  
server.  The confluence logs might offer a hint, but my shot in the  
dark is:

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF27/Confluence+Unix+and+X11+Dependencies

For now i've turned it back off -- it can be re-enabled via  
Administration > Configuration > Spam Prevention

The image should show up near the bottom of this page, when enabled:

http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/signup.action

Thanks,
Cory.
