Currently the database just records the core/contributor grant, with a date of when it was added, and associates membership with core contributor status. Membership is for a 2 year period, so technically they're still members. Most likely the way forward would be to set up a cron job to check the database for core contributors who's grant date > 2 years old, remove their core contributor grant, and email them, along with the current community group facilitator. I still don't like the core contributor <-> membership relationship though, but changing that is likely to mean changes to the database which I'm loathe to even attempt by myself. Glynn
