Please forgive my ignorance.
1. Are there members?
We are all members.
2. What are they members of?
Members of the community of those involved with Wikipedias.
3. How do they become members?
By participating.
4. How do they know that they have been accepted?
None needed, only participation is required. All are accepted,.
It seems that when a person becomes a member he should
receive a
membership certificate. This could be something that he can download
and print out to put in a frame and hang on the wall. It could have a
fancyborder.
I haven't seen any information about this.

Why not make up a certificate and post it on the Meta Wiki?
Then we can all download it, add our names, print it out, and put it on
the wall. A fancy border would be nice, like a stock certificate.
Maybe Jimbo will even allow his mechanical signature
to be reproduced on it. It could say something like
"I hereby certify this person is a member of the Wikipedia
community because they decided to participate. "

Here is an example of the Left-Handers Club certificate:

It could also have the new logo on it!
Maybe we should have a membership certificate contest too!
(I'm not joking)
