This is mainly for brainstorming user self-registration design for both the server and the frontend.

There are two captcha methods for validating the user registration:
- reCaptcha (http://www.google.com/recaptcha) - 3rd-party service offered by Google. Probably the easiest to implement, but if the service goes down so do we
- SimpleCaptcha (http://simplecaptcha.sourceforge.net/) - JAVA 1.5 & 6 supported library. Customizable captcha images and audio feeds; can refresh captchas

Looks like SimpleCatcha is the way to go to make everything as self-contained as possible.
