Abstract (maximum 500 words)
I would like to present my devlopment work on Wikipedia as part of the Google Summer of Code 11 program. I have worked on building an API for Signup, adding functionality for tracking the source & exit activities for account creation & AJAX-ification of the signup form. These new functionalities will help Wikipedia in better understanding what encourages users to create accounts & accordingly suggest them the suitable exit activities based on their skill level
