Heh. A few months ago, I convinced them that a development server was a good thing to own; I'm still trying to convince them that they should actually use it. For the most part, they are still doing development and testing on the production machines. They have even gone so far as to tell me that the dev machine is "for my use", implying that there are no plans to have anyone else use it.

I've recently raised the issue of putting all the templates in a centralized database. There are some legal reasons why this might be sticky, but I'm going to see if there isn't a way around them. In the meantime, they are very reluctant to change their Perl versions, since it often breaks the existing code when they upgrade.
