Visitors to add their info to an accessible listing...

Hello all,

I am wracking my brain trying to figure out how to do this:  

I have this website I am working on for the Maine Maritime Academy Alumni Association. They have over 5000 members and would like to have a member-accessible database. 

I am trying to develop a format for visiting alumni coming to the website, to add their name, address and E-mail address to this listing. Then, that listing needs to be accessible to other visiting alums. 

This is the 
Maine Maritime Academy Alumni Association
http://bell.mma.edu/~alumni/

I guess what I am trying to do is similar to what is being done at:
http://www.mmaaa.org/changeslogin.ccml?pgfrm=43 

Please help me. What can I use?
I am coding with Wordpad and am beginning to use Dreamweaver MX for my HTML

More detailed info:
The alumni members who visit the website will need the ability to add their names, addresses and other info into a database that they, can later go into and update whenever they need to. 

But they will not be able to change other information that other alumni members has put in. 

This database will also be public, or at least available to other members anytime they want to see it. 

Also, all Alumni members who add their names and their info might also need to be reminded of their usernames and/or passwords, might they have forgotten either, and I would like to create a system whereby they will automatically receive either
username or password if they wish. 

Oh, how is all of this magic done? :-)


Most sincerely,
