If you're going to have a captcha ... I think it's the Univerity of
Illinois library that provides a free captcha service. They're in
toe pocess of digitizing their entire collection, and they use the
words and phrases that their OCR systems fail on as a source of
captchas. Apparently is's quite effective at weedind out bots, and
not hard on real human beings. And it helps them digitize their
library.
Its Carnegie Mellon.
I found it following links from googling (or wikipeding) CAPTCHA.
Didn't keep the link.
I think you refer to re-captcha [0] and indeed this would be a very
nice service to use here. I've looked over ikiwiki's plugins today
and did not found something which provides what I want right from
the start, but maybe the editdiff [1] plugin is a good starting
point for a plugin hack...

I wrote most of a recaptcha plugin for ikiwiki over the weekend. It
is available here:
http://ikiwiki.info/todo/require_CAPTCHA_to_edit/
The plugin puts the CAPTCHA on the login page. I was hoping to use it
with the OpenID login so that if you use OpenID and fill in the
CAPTCHA then you can edit the page. It currently works with the
passwordauth plugin (where is isn't amazingly useful), but not with
the OpenID plugin (which bastardises their form system to make OpenID
work).
Be well,
Will :-}
