Hi all,
i've seen that the fancycaptcha system is enabled on mediawiki.org Could Brion or any admin of www.mediawiki.org, tell me how to have images show up instead of the arithmetic system of "simplecaptcha".
Thanks a lot.

Include the extension files and set:
$wgCaptchaClass = 'FancyCaptcha';
The images aren't generated live; you can use the captcha.py script to batch-generate a directory full of images, which can be periodically replaced to keep the pool fresh.
Set the $wgCaptchaDirectory to this directory, and $wgCaptchaSecret to the string you passed as the --key parameter to the generator script. The directory doesn't need to be web-accessible, but the files do need to be readable by the web server process.

Thank you very much Brion... and thank you for making the extension :-)

Damn, I forgot I had also to learn python. Too bad :-(
Let' hope someone, one day builds a GNU php captcha generator.
