** Description changed:

  Google introduced reCaptcha API version 2.0 in December 2014. While they
  haven't announced a deprecation date for reCaptcha version 1 yet, we
  should upgrade our system anyway, because the version 2 is a better user
  experience and more secure.
  
  See https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/intro
  
  Google's github repository has a reCaptcha 2 PHP library, so we should
  use that: https://github.com/google/recaptcha
  
- If possible, we should do this in such a way that the usage of the
- reCaptcha pieform element doesn't change, nor do any of the
- configuration elements.
+ If possible, we should do this in such a way that the usage of Mahara's
+ "captcha" Pieform element (htdocs/lib/form/elements/captcha.php) doesn't
+ change, nor do any of the site configuration elements.
