Hi …. Here are the HHS requirements for any study done with children in the United States. Other countries probably have similar laws. http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/guidance/special-protections-for-children/index.html# In academic settings the IRB (institutional review board) will usually be made up of university personnel and all academic research involving minors must go through the process.

Fortunately I'm not interested in information about children :) There are countries which don't allow anything about younger children or what they do online to be known without parental and/or school consent. Said consent may require proving the adult is actually an adult and not a child providing an incorrect date of birth. Which countries? :) Historically Sugar Labs has been non-profit, and probably too tiny to get on the radar. But before social and/or metric features get incorporated into Sugar's core, it would be best to check with the lawyers as to how to do it. Which lawyers? :) -- Cheers Dave _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep
