I'm interested to know why age is one of the required fields. Will there be any preference given to people who are either "old enough" or "young enough?" Makin

Making something like that required without disclosing why it's being asked seems like an invitation for people to supply false information in hopes of not being passed over for an arbitrary reason like their age.
- ruggeri 14y agoHmm; good point. We put it in there pro forma. Age isn't very important to us; feel free to put 0 in. We'll take the field off when we get a chance :-)
- TylerE 14y agoIt might still be relevant. Aren't there still some issues with collecting personal information from minors, given some of the absurd "think of the children" internet laws that were pushed though?
- jaysonelliot 14y agoThanks for the reply. I put my age in anyway :) The application form was actually fun to fill out, it got me thinking about my motivations for wanting to join the class, and a bit of looking at oneself is always a useful thing to do.
