I went ahead and created a few issues, optimization, and feature request tasks for WP-reCAPTCHA on its github project page. So far I’ve added a few which I am going to try to implement for version 3.0, the next release of the plugin. If you have any reports of bugs, suggested optimizations, or feature requests, you are more than welcome to create an issue yourself on that page. However, if you would rather not go through all the trouble of creating a github account, if you don’t already have one, you can also make a post about them on the WP-reCAPTCHA page. Those two places are where I would most likely see your contribution.

The plugin’s source is available at a public github repository, so anyone can fork it to add any fixes, etc. Already there has been one person who has submitted a fix for WordPress MU. The rewritten source is being worked on in a different branch which I have not yet pushed to the public repository, but I will do that soon. Once I am done with the rewriting, I will have to do some tests to make sure that everything works, and will then release the plugin as version 3.0. So 3.0 will be just that: a rewritten plugin which will serve as a base for future extensibility. Continue reading ‘WP-reCAPTCHA Being ReWritten’

This makes sense considering that Google has really been focusing on their Google Books initiative, which digitizes books and makes them available to the masses. There is also a similar initiative which focuses on digitizing and archiving news, including old newspapers and magazines. Continue reading ‘Google Acquires reCAPTCHA’
