I have to admit I filled the thing in - I assumed the middle questions were 
perhaps psychology related (psychology of OSM users, etc).
It never asks for name, email address, phone, place of work etc, town etc. - 
just age.

Didn't really strike me as phishing.

What do people think about this - I'll delete my cookies etc "just in case" it 
is phishing and run an antivirus scan but does anyone recommend doing anything 
else?

Thanks,
Nick

Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] online survey about the OSM community

I too found the questions in the middle of the survey a bit odd. .. To the 
extent that I needed to re-read the email about the study + the Research page 
of the wiki to evaluate if this was a valid research of just an odd phishing 
attempt. And while I ended up trusting that this is a legit request I am 
copying this to cdimo...@mail.sdsu.edu (try to) ensure that this is actually 
the case.

My last question (=feedback request) included thoughts that when researching 
OSM it would be a good idea to include the research plan (and I'd add that a 
link to some actual web page where hopefully there is a notion about the 
research in question). Specifically it would be highly appreciated if possible 
attachments e.g. to financing entities (related business(es) I would assume 
primarily) could be listed. .. Or it would be noted that such information can 
not be released.
Additionally it would be great if the research would be open in nature 
including at least some level of openness in the data (responses). That is, 
more than the traditional openness of the analysis.

This said, I hope I wasn't fooled into giving out information about myself that 
is actually easily identifiable. .. And if I was fooled than the lesson is on 
me.

If -- as I assume (and hope) -- this is a valid research then I look forward to 
reading the results. And hopefully seeing some of the collected data openly 
available.

Should we have a Code of Ethics for researching the OSM community?

I had the same issue. It stopped being about OSM. Which made me suspect that 
his intent was other than what was announced.

I'd be willing to help the OP if he was agreeable to suggestions.

I gave up before I got half way - just seems like a load of useless
crap? Anybody actually managed the whole thing?
