So I guess we need to update our headers. I can volunteer some time given that it should just boil down to some script writing. How should the header read exactly? Should we just change TOPP to OpenPlans or should we include both entities with a date range for topp like: /* Copyright (c) 2010 - 2013 OpenPlans - www.openplans.org.
