But I think you hit the nail on the head here. I dont envisage a situation where people will be willing to do this, so we do need automation. As far as I am concerned just a few small scripts may help. But I think that its is going to be showing people that if they use the tools they will make their space better but if they dont that is their problem. I have a feeling that that is really going to have to be the bottom line. The problem is that I thought this from day one but its the other people in the development group that I have to pursuade on this, and the attitude is that "other people must have found a way to do this so why cant we". Well that just now leaves the actual method of implementation.....
