Basically, nobody seemed to like my approach of adapting the existing hacky
captcha interface for action=edit to action=createaccount.
I would recommend totally rewriting the captcha plugin system in
ConfirmEdit to not be awful, and devise a more sustainable and extensible
API for creating accounts and displaying confirmation screens.
It'd be way faster to tidy up and merge the existing patch and use that
'for now', but as they say "temporary solutions often end up becoming
permanent"

hi,
yuvi said he is not able to add account creation to the wlm mobile app
because the mw api is not usable. there is a bug filed in march, now
approaching 6 months age:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46072
with priority "high", which means according to andre klapper:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla/Fields#Priority
"Not the next task, but should be fixed soon. Depending on teams &
manpower this can take between one and six months."
who needs to do what to get this fixed?
(sorry for crossposting to wikitech, as i understood this is not a
mobile problem ...)

Sadly not for this contest. The API to create
accounts never reached
enough maturity while this app was in development.

Thats why we dont require it to save images for later upload. I agree
that this would be great to have in the future.
