Hi, The ReMAPTCHA Demo BETA 0.2 finally is ready to be tested: http://remaptcha.herokuapp.com/
Please note that perfomance is slow (so hover over satellite icon taks seconds), and that the data is restricted to Switzerland since that's the imagery data I needed (if anyone knows freely accessible aerial/satellite imagery of similar quality I'm interested). I'm open for hints and enhancement requests (excuse me that I can't answer then all). --S. 2014-03-21 16:59 GMT+01:00 Philip Barnes <p...@trigpoint.me.uk>: > On Fri, 2014-03-21 at 14:22 +0100, Richard Z. wrote: > > On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 07:17:26AM +0100, Stefan Keller wrote: > > > Hi Richard, hi Simon > > > > > > At 2014-03-14 16:19 GMT+01:00 Simon Poole wrote > > > > > At 14.03.2014 16:06, schrieb Richard Z.: > > > > > is there really no way to avoid those horrible captchas whenever I > add > > > > > a link to a JOSM bug ticket or another friendly website to the > wiki?? > > > ... > > > > What I saw on Tuesday seem to indicate that ReMAPTCHA (Stefan?) is > > > > nearly here.
