... others, I think that there is perhaps a way for the Foundation to get round the issue in order to keep volunteers. I know that I handle a good deal of private information for freenode as part of the group registration process, but we are getting round this by using a Non-Consent Agreement - this will allow us to all handle data regardless of age as we are still legally bound. Why would we escape this legally just for being under 18? I'm sure that the law still places a degree of liability upon minors.
Yes but not a total degree. I feel need to add that both parents and minors can cancel the deed of minors if the parents give no explicit consent retrospective, even after the minor reached adulthood. It would be an idea to ask their parents a consent in a paper, but I don't know if WMF can handle enourmous paperwork currently in addition to all confirmation process of other people.
