I believe the WordPress core team had to patch this plugin for security vulnerabilities. Also, it breaks SLL certifications, etc. There are other plugins on the repos that depend on this one for its library evidently.

If I work on this plugin and contribute patches, will you resume support on this plugin?

If not, would you consider putting this plugin up for adoption (meaning letting someone else take over responsibility for it)?

Hey Ken! I should clear up a of couple things.

The library that you mention that other plugins rely on: I believe you're referring to recaptchalib.php. That library is provided by the reCAPTCHA project and not myself. I think every other plugin that depends on that library gets it themselves from the reCAPTCHA project site, it'd seem backwards to require this plugin to be installed just to have access to that library, since I'm not its author.

Another thing I should clear up is that I noticed you forked the repository, and the commit you have is basically merging in the version on wordpress.org (3.1.4). If it helps to know, that version is actually from this repository, it's just that it's in the oo-refactor branch and not master. As far as I know, the latest version on wordpress.org is from the latest commit I made.

Hope that clears some things up. That aside, I don't want to get in the way of any contributions or hold this project hostage or anything haha. If you think you could contribute regularly or anything, I will do my best to accommodate. Let me know what you would like to do so we can work it out.

Take care!

Oh, that makes more sense. Thanks for that. I'll work on a fix for that SSL certification issue then.
