Hello,

as of yesterday, creation of new accounts for Kamailio's wiki site 
requires to answer a project related question. Captcha was useless as 
spam bots were lately going through it easily, creating accounts in a 
rate of approx 50 new registrations per day.

The extra question is asked just after CAPTCHA, see it at:
- https://www.kamailio.org/wiki/start?do=register

Hopefully the questions are simple enough to allow good people to 
register and difficult enough for spambots to give up. It is not a very 
sophisticated system, let's see if there will be any efforts in reverse 
engineering to break in with bots. So far no new spammer account. If 
they will succeed, at least they learn something useful.

If anyone has difficulties creating wiki accounts, write an email to 
sr-dev mailing list and it will be investigated.

Cheers,
Daniel

PS. This registration system will last, is not for April 1.
