Introduction
Work now complete(ish) Jon has done a great job and the membership system is now in place and working, although like all projects tinkering is ongoing
As the makerspace membership has grown, we have moved from pencil and paper to a web-based system (Seltzer).
At an admin meeting on 2016-04-07 there was mention that the current system does not really seem fit for purpose, so a project was spun out to come up with a better one.

Usage Questions
Feel free to add answers or discussion with these questions, or to add extra questions. It's a wiki, edit away!
- Single user or multi-user?
- Just for admins, or can members log in to check their status?
- How to add/remove users, change passwords etc?
- How to manage (create, retire etc.) membership plans?
- Any need to import or export data?
- Any need to integrate with any other systems? - (Seltzer currently manages the logon authentication to members only www site and wiki. One for Jon I think)
- What about backups and other operational issues?
