Asirra
Hi, isn't this feature basically the same as what Asirra is doing with cats and dogs? See Extension:Asirra, and a real example running in MediaWiki here.--Qgil (talk) 23:06, 6 March 2014 (UTC) -What i mentioned in this proposal is different from Asirra,in two ways:
 * --I proposed use of data mining to extract images from the Wiki commons database through its API...Asirra on the other hand is more about image                recognition
 * --Asirra is proprietary and can't be self-hosted....Wiki Commons on the other hand is a part of Wikimedia as mentoined in a reply  here : https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:CAPTCHA#lqt_thread_id_40174

ConfirmEdit / node
Two Questions: CSteipp (talk) 01:13, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you proposing to extend or integrate with the existing ConfirmEdit extension, or would this be a competing extension?
 * You mentioned node.js as a part of your development environment-- are you planning to do part of this in javascript instead of PHP? Having the captchas require other languages besides php has been an issue with fancy captcha (generation is in python), and I would caution against it unless there is a really compelling reason for it.
