ALSA's Captcha Prevents My Participation

ALSA's Captcha Prevents My Participation

[Janina Sajka]

I would like to sign up for access to ALSA's bug tracking system, however I cannot do it because the form discriminates against people who cannot see.

The web form provided at https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/signup_page.php says (in part):

   ALSA bugtracking system

   Signup
   Username: _____
   Email:_____ 
   Enter the code as it is shown in the box on the right: _____

The W3C's accessibility guidance for Captcha (also generically known as Turing
Tests) is at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/turingtest

An alternative sign up mechanism is needed. Who do I need to write to about this?
