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!).

Kia ora koutou (greetings to everyone), 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)
