patch management

Hi everyone,


We're looking for BETA testers for our new site, patchparty.com


In a nutshell, Patch Party allows you to find customized software, post bounties, and get support. It's also a place for software developers to publish and maintain open source patches, and offer paid support for their patches.

Hey guys - So, keeping track of what updates are needed on a Drupal site isn't too bad, but what about if you're running 50 sites? I've looked around a few times over the last few months, but I've never found any good discussion on this topic.

I'm building out a new secure Drupal hosting service, and while I'll be able to manage this for the first few months by hand, presuming things go well, it will quickly become more work than I'd like to do, just keeping inventory of the sites, figuring which sites have security patches, etc.
