I think we need to update the pages on the wiki here. http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Membership/Help is rather out of date (and there's plenty of questions being asked here that could be answered there), http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Membership/Process could probably do with expanding, and maybe we even need to revise http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Membership/Rules to include things like paying for membership in advance as Tom is pointing out (maximum number of years, etc.), and some others (e.g. if you renew part-way through the grace period, do you get 12 months from then, or 12 months from the anniversary of your joining date - that's currently a bit ambiguous).
