I wonder if a community effort to create and maintain SCUP catalogs could be tried. Most organizations don't have the in-house resources to write their own SCUP catalogs for all of the products that need frequent patching, but if various organizations could each contribute a catalog for one product, maybe it could work.

I would rather pay someone to write the patches in house and use the leftover hours to do other work. I don't think patching is worth more than $2 client/year. More than that and the numbers don't add up. On Jun 13, 2014, at 10:29 AM, at "Marcum, John" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: It's not bad actually. Less than 10.00 per client.
