Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuff Fri, 25 May 2012 05:31:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Gunawan http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/03/01/gatekeeper-15-rc5/#comment-397411 Gunawan Sun, 03 Aug 2008 00:16:01 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/03/01/gatekeeper-15-rc5/#comment-397411 I still wait your upgrade to latest version.

On many sites I cannot see this being a problem because to be able to understand the content these questions are simple enough, but even with the orange example, I believe there is those that cannot reprouduce the exact spelling but could possibly still understand the content fine. I am not particuarly concerned because it goes far beyond the efforts of most CAPTCHA methods, but claiming it is 'fully accessible' is something some might dispute. P.S. Just making the assumption that you haven't made it possible to get an answer "close enough" which in my opinion would be very difficult but excludes a few less people. I still like it :) I have read articles criticising CAPTCHA including this form, as it excludes some children and mentally retarded people (or those who cannot type accurately).

Gatekeeper was the inspiration for the writeback deterrence feature that I put into <a href="http://vinetype.com" title="Vine Type Home Page" rel="nofollow">Vine Type</a>. I was attacted by Gatekeeper's simplicty, accessibity, and flexibility. Congratulations, Eric. Gatekeeper was the inspiration for the writeback deterrence feature that I put into Vine Type.
