  By brian, 2004-06-26 11:08:04 
  Section: News

[From FSF] The Free Software Foundation has upgraded its Associate
Membership web site http://member.fsf.org/. The new site is built on
the GPL'd Plone system, with lots of extra configuration work and
feature implementation by FSF staffers, James Blair and Paul Fisher.

Members can now more easily configure their payment settings and other
information regarding their membership accounts. In addition, over the
coming year, John Sullivan (membership coordinator) will use the new
software to build a better communication path with the FSF membership --
something that many people requested at the Membership Meeting in March.
