[OSM-talk] ethnio.com javascripts loaded on osm user registration page

2010-09-01 Thread Niklas Cholmkvist
Hi,

Because I'm curious to read how new users see openstreetmap when they
register (and also a curious chance to see the new contributor
terms :) ) I went to the registration page of openstreetmap
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new .

Why does that page load scripts from ethnio.com? Those scripts are not
used on the main page at http://www.openstreetmap.org/ .
I tried to find any reference on the OSM wiki about ethnio.com but I
didn't find any references. No references on Wikipedia either. Both
searches for ethnio and ethnio.com were used.
It makes me a bit uneasy, being a user of tor every new javascript poses
an extra little risk of unmasking the IP. (not that the internet isn't
already swarming with javascripts loaded from 3rd party sites ;) hehe)

I'm looking forward to comments.. mainly on ethnio.com,

I don't know why this script is included and when the target shows up,
but it targets (whenever) to
https://ethnio.com/remotes/62786/edit?
May be anyone knows what's the reason for putting ethnio-recruting
service on the page

It's for doing recruitment for some UX testing that Steve was working on.

When it is enabled (by ethnio) a percentage of visitors are shown a 
popup inviting them to take part in a UX test.
