+summary: A web interface to register user accounts
+...
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+There are various reasons to prefer web registration instead of
+"in-band" account registration over XMPP. For example the lack of
+CAPTCHA support in clients and servers.
+
+Details
+-------
+
+mod\_register\_web has Prosody serve a web page where users can sign up
+for an account. It implements reCaptcha to prevent automated sign-ups
+(from bots, etc.).
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The module is served on Prosody's default HTTP ports at the path
+`/register_web`. More details on configuring HTTP modules in Prosody can
+be found in our [HTTP documentation](http://prosody.im/doc/http).
+
+To configure the CAPTCHA you need to supply a 'captcha\_options' option:
+
+        captcha_options = {
+          recaptcha_private_key = "12345";
+          recaptcha_public_key = "78901";
+        }
+
+The keys for reCaptcha are available in your reCaptcha account, visit
+[recaptcha.net](http://recaptcha.net/) for more info.
+
+If no reCaptcha options are set, a simple built in captcha is used.
+
+Compatibility

+
+Todo
+----
+
+Lots. The module is very basic at the moment. In particular I would like
+to see:
+
+Customisation (CSS and/or HTML)
+
+Different CAPTCHA implementation support
+
+Collection of additional data, such as email address
+
+The module kept simple!
