+### Making Exports for New Devs
+
+To make importable data exports for new devs, first obtain a local copy of the data you want to 
+share (see Backups below). Then:
+
+Run the scramble script to obfuscate PII:
+```sh
+python src/manage.py scramble_members
+```
+
+Clear the data from the historical tables (so that we don't leak the data we just scrambled via a diff)
+```sh
+scripts/clear_history_tables.sh
+```
+[!WARNING] be sure that you spot check the data to make sure the scramble process worked as expected.
+
+Finally, create an importable datadump with:
+```sh
+scripts/create_importable_datadump.sh
+```
+
+The file will be written to `data/full_dump.sql`, share this with the new devs
+
