The [[Membership Database]] is edited by [[Diann Piwek]].
Other people that have done this task: [[Dick Burnham]], [[Adam Grose]], [[Brett Wuth]], [[BobCosta]].

He uses
* the changes that members make to their personnel record sheets at regular meetings
* event/course sign-in sheets which are passed to him
* individual changes which are e-mailed to him.

== Process ==
Gather your list of changes that need to be made to the membership database:
* review any e-mails you may have received about updates
* Review the call-out list in the membership binder for changes
* Review the personnel records in the membership binder
* Review decisions of the board about membership statuses and newly approved members
** Any changes (e.g. an applicant becoming an associate member) should be ''added'', not deleting the old membership information.  This is a requirement of the Alberta Society Act.

Edit the membership records on the secure part of the wiki.
* [[:Category:MemRecord|existing membership records]]
* See [[Membership Database/Format|formatting instructions]] for the kinds of changes to make.
* new members or applicants should be added in a similar fashion, namely
** On [[Special:MyPage|your personal page]], or in a [[Sandbox]] add the line:
**: <code><nowiki>* {{member|John Doe}}</nowiki></code>
**: using the person's name instead of <code>John Doe</code>.
** Follow the link to the new member's page.  You should be in the edit box, with a blank template ready to be filled in.
** Fill in the information and save the page.
** Further, when you get a new membership record form, I recommend that you keep the original in the binder (filed by name), so if for whatever reason I don't get to process the membership database, the new member can continue to update their original form as if it was a printed sheet.

* [[Activities]] lists the activities we have had

[[User:Brett Wuth|Brett Wuth]] has abandoned development of a
java application for structured editing of the database using
a graphical user interface ([[MembershipDatabaseEditorTask]]).
Instead he is working on integrating [[D4H]].

==Tasks==
* receive changes
* type changes
* validate database: [[Validate Membership Database Task]]
== Log ==
See {{subpage|Log}}
