2021-12-19 Thread Sam Wilson
I think CiviCRM is a common one amongst affiliates. WMAU used it for a 
while, but we found that having separation between the financial system 
(xero.com, where the actual membership dues are payed and recorded) and 
the membership system was too annoying and the latter was never kept up 
to date. We retired it a few years ago.


I've often wondered about building something lightweight that works 
within MediaWiki, because that's where everyone already has an account, 
and it already has a 'current-member' user group. Would probably still 
have issues with the financials side of it (but then again, I'm not 
really convinced that having membership fees are really worth it, so 
that might make it simpler!).

The Aotearoa New Zealand User Group is working on creating an 
incorporated society and applying to become a chapter. We are looking 
for an open source member management system which would enable us to 
store member details, record membership payments, record membership 
history (e.g. periods of memberships, type of membership), export 
lists of names and contact details and create email lists or send 
emails to groups of members.
Is any affiliate using a member management system which they would 
recommend we investigate? Many thanks,

Heather (for the Aotearoa NZ User Group)
