Plone Capchas
=============

qPloneCaptchas is simple captchas implementation for Plone, designed
for validation of human input in insecure forms. This is a standalone
implementation with static captcha images, which does not depend on
captchas.net services.

Since version 1.0, the dynamic captchas option is implemented. You can
switch captchas into dynamic mode in the correspondent configlet. In this
case, captcha images will be generated on the fly.
