I checked a couple of projects from <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/">https://trac.osgeo.org/</a>, FDO is probably abandoned (and is causing some trouble with the database when the bots are hitting it), MapGuide's most recent tickets are from 18 months ago, GRASS uses GitHub anyway.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style="overflow-wrap:break-word;"><div class="qt-WordSection1"><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">Translating using Weblate.osgeo.org</span><br></p></div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;">This does seem important, indeed.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style="overflow-wrap:break-word;"><div class="qt-WordSection1"><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">Being able to set up a profile on osgeo.org</span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">Being able to setup or edit a page on wiki.osgeo.org</span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">Being able to put files on nextcloud.osgeo.org</span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">Logging into OSGeo servers – though granted that requires you being in a special group as well.</span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">Adding videos to video.osgeo.org</span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt;">Being able to start a meeting on meet.osgeo.org</span><br></p></div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Arial;">Somehow I doubt that people will want to register just to upload something to Nextcloud or PeerTube. It's usually the other way around, it's those who've been with OSGeo for years that post there.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Regarding CAPTCHA's, Cloudflare's Turnstile works quite well, and requires no-interaction. I think reCAPTCHA also has a similar mode these days, but I'm not sure.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Of course, a lot of people have something against Cloudflare, but 1. they're not into the ad and tracking business, 2. I've seen very wild (surprising) accusations, but those were never substantiated.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">I don't think whitelisting specific TLDs will help that much. About half of the requests come from students and people who teach at universities. And a lot of requests seem misguided, with people who think they need an account for random QGIS plugins. I'm not even sure it's a good thing to have students publish their homework, as, even assuming their plugins are great, they're unlikely to be maintained in the future.<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">Laurentiu<br></div></body></html>
