Yes, I can't imagine working on the assumption that clients bring everything to us so I think we will have to swallow the costs. There was a definite air of "let them eat cake" at the TUG meeting I attended ... it was opined that organisations with a CLS contract had money for this type of thing. Well, that's a theory if you are that type of organisation (we are, but I must say I haven't noticed a stamp and envelope mountain surrounded by clumps of bored admins hanging around with nothing to do. At least not recently.) Organisations who are not CLS-related, I don't know where they're supposed to find the moolah.
