In order to get more support for little a, and I would argue for
little/big S (end user support/machine support), you can't just be a
cost center. You need to be a profit center. This forces a
particular
range of business models upon you (chargeback and others) but with
some
creative thinking, you might be able to turn this into a real revenue
generator for the university (not big revenue, but self sustaining).
Let me know if you want to talk about this offline. It is more of a
business model than anything else.
Ya see, this is the sort of thing I wanted to discuss *on-line* but
figured that the Beowulf list was not the best place to do it. ;-)
The educause site that Mike pointed out may be a good solution, or I
have access to a mailman server.
Thanks for the great input folks,
