Hi all,
user notes are spammed in recent days/weeks.
Should we protect the submission form in some sane way (CAPTCHA)?

Spammers suck.
I would be in favour of implementing a basic mathematical
skill-testing question a la Lukas Smith's blog at
http://pooteeweet.org -- it is a protection method that is still
accessible to the visually impaired, unlike classic CAPTCHA.

I don't think that the math-test would prevent much spam.

Well atm, no lynx or braille terminals can submit a bug (afaik) so not sure how

added some constants definitions as follows:
As of release 1.1.6, users can set DB2_ATTR_CASE

As of release 1.2.0, users can set CURSOR
type as a connection

Hi there,
In working with the phpdoc xml files from CVS I've made some minor

instances of Description were changed to Description; because they
were chalking my XML parser. It may not matter much because they are
both within
