Plone Captchas
==============

quintagroup.plonecaptchas is a simple captchas implementation for Plone, designed
for validation of human input in insecure forms. This is a standalone 
implementation which does not depend on captchas.net services.

quintagroup.plonecaptchas adds captcha support to Plone, it works together with 
quintagroup.captcha.core package. http://projects.quintagroup.com/products/wiki/quintagroup.captcha.core

With these products installed captchas will be added to Plone's 'Send this', 
'Contact Us' (/contact-info) forms, and Plone's default discussion mechanism: 
'Add Comment' and 'Reply' forms.

quintagroup.plonecaptchas does not automatically plug to Plone's default registration
(/join_form). You can make captcha plug to Plone's Join form via Zope Management Interface.
