[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 cdimofte at 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?
