Concerning the management of membership: I wonder whether one of the
useful blanket functions of ADHO might be to maintain a joint
membership database, which could be edited by a membership
representative from each organization? this would allow:
--easy discovery of who is a member of what
--easy consolidation of membership lists in case two organizations
should happen to merge :-)
--easy computation of whatever rates, discounts, and other quantities
needed calculating.
--easy maintenance of unified membership data (addresses, etc.)
--simplified renewals process

All the rest of John's list looks good to me.
