The original proposal (now a little bit dated as it was written before the project was implemented or even fully designed) is over at Benjamin Mako Hill's personal wiki at: http://wiki.mako.cc/CommonSenseApproachToSpam

Short Description

A Captcha is a "Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." Captchas are one tool frequently used to stop spammers from using computer programs to register for web-accounts or to deface wiki pages with links to sites. Captcha's most common form is a distorted image of text which humans are asked to decode. This project uses a new type of Captcha that asks a series of questions based of commonsense questions. This new Captcha is both highly accessible and able to distinguish between human and computers. Most importantly, it allows individuals to, without their knowledge, make an easy and constructive contribution to AI research by helping verify and shared a commonsense databases.
