:::: That's quite an interesting setup, to say the least :) In any case, I think I fully understand what you're dealing with now, thanks for explaining Ish. This may be a stupid question (I don't code, I "admin" for a living), is there no controls from the CVS client available to "push" a change through? On 2nd thought, is there even a CVS client, or am I assuming down the wrong path? Color me curious ... [[User:Mauirixxx|Mauirixxx]] 18:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC) |

− | ::::: Yeah, we were similarly incredulous when we found out. And of course we didn't find out until we were importing our File:s and we couldn't figure out why some of them didn't import. And then I had to go cobble together an extension to handle that. |

− | ::::: They're using [http://mercurial.selenic.com/ Mercurial] on the backend, and I'm using the [http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/ TortoiseHg] Windows client to manage a local copy of the repo and push my changes. I have no clue if TortoiseHg has the capability to push changes live, or whether Mercurial even allows that from external clients. —[[User:Dr_ishmael|Dr Ishmael]] [[File:Diablo_the_chicken.gif|link=User_talk:Dr_ishmael]] 19:28, 8 June 2011 (UTC) |

: The problem with QuestyCaptcha is that the human controller of a bot could teach it the answers to specific questions. We'd have to 1) come up with a huge set of possible questions that have easy, obvious answers (so we don't frustrate our actual editors with obscure or ambiguous answers), and 2) rotate the questions regularly to stay ahead of the botters. |
