Thanks for the PR but I will decline it, as it is too specific! |

Description
One of my installs receives a lot of spam through the Contact form. This adds a CAPTCHA to the Contact form to protect against spam.
Steps
Pre-deploy
(EDIT) If upgrading an existing installation, make sure to run
pip install -r requirements.txtto install the CAPTCHA module.Per the documentation at:
https://django-simple-captcha.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#adding-to-a-form
You have to run
python manage.py migratefor this to work. It adds information to the database that the CAPTCHA plugin requires. Without it, the form will not work. But this is standard procedure for MediaCMS version upgrades anyway so I don't see it as a major issue.Post-deploy
