Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Now that Drupal 6.0 Beta 1 has been released, we have to start thinking about porting Captcha 3.x to Drupal 6. The big problem, however, is all the outstanding issues in the issue queue. Once all the current issues are fixed and a Captcha 3.0 final for Drupal 5 is released, work will begin on the Drupal 6 port of Captcha (6.x-3.x-dev).

Seriously, you (Rob) seem to be the only active commiter for CAPTCHA (wundo seems less active these days), but you also spend time on (co-)maintaining 7 other modules apparently. I could help with the small/"ready to be commited" patches in the issue queue. I understand you don't want a bunch of "random generators" as commiters, but I hope you've already seen I only want to add value to the CAPTCHA module and I'm not some script kiddie with a "learn PHP in 10 minutes" background.
I just want the 5.x-3.0 release to happen soon (it already took more time I imagined)
Anyway (enough off topic), I agree that we shouldn't start working on the Drupal 6 port before 5.x-3.x is ready.

RobLoachI've started on the Drupal 6 Port in HEAD. There's still a bunch more that needs work, primarily the menu and some form stuff. The schema stuff is pretty neat to work with.

I think most of the real port work for the D6 port is already done.
I'm not sure there is much left for GHOP.
There is still stuff to be done (e.g. compatibility with OpenID, extending the CAPTCHA API), but that's not really port work.

RobLoachG-HOP #52. The majority of the CAPTCHA Drupal 6 port is complete, so I think we're going to have to change the GHOS project to porting the Text CAPTCHA module. This module is much smaller than the CAPTCHA module, and would introduce more of the Drupal API. A much better scope for someone new to Drupal.

RobLoachWe're really sorry about changing the scope of this task. It should be a much easier project to complete.

Comment #11
soxofaan CreditAttribution: soxofaan commentedI think this issue can be considered fixed, because there are at the moment even two CAPTCHA module branches for Drupal 6: DRUPAL-6--1 (straight forward port of DRUPAL-5--3) and HEAD (experimental).
