[Osmf-talk] Membership statistics

[michael spreng]

Hi Christoph and Martin

I have just update the member statistics page. It is manually updated
and tends to get forgotten.

I think I can do a summary of the countries when I process the
membership list for the statistic. I will ask at the next MWG meeting.

But currently the MWG is still struggling a bit with doing all the
necessary work. Please bear with us if it takes some time. If anyone can
spare some time, the MWG would be glad if you help. Topics currently in
need of some one spending time on it are: the membership fee waiver
program, increasing the number of members, and a member self service
area (show info like when is my membership running out, change
address,...). There are lots of ideas, but we are still stuck with the
ideas and no implementation.

Michael from the Membership Working Group
