The form, with the captcha, needs JavaScript being enabled in the browser.
It fails using "Dillo" web browser: http://www.dillo.org/.

I don't know if we should fix. My reading of how to prevent bots includes
use CSS and JS as bots rarely implement the ability to use them.

What else, complete lynx support? I hope you don't expect OSGeo SAC budget
spending on efforts to support such exotic clients.
Sandro, please, be serious, it's XXI.

Complete lynx support would be nice, yes. Especially for people
with disabilities.
I think trac already works with lynx, and
user registration used to work until a few
weeks ago (before the captcha).
Improving the "mantra based access control" would allow to
perform the real Turing test, as we'd be talking with someone
on IRC

An interesting pointer: http://textcaptcha.com/
As we use some text-based captchas for the wiki, it might be good to
centralize them, and fun to add questions and answers as we go!
