That sounds good - I'm pretty sure it's not going to be bad to do that and change it later. Not having the first part will seem quite out of context.
I think it would be worth asking whether or not a "copyright" notice without specified years is actually meaningful. My expectation is that it would not - i.e. that it would not imbue the pages with copyright protection at all. I guess the first question is: Do we care about our pages being copyrighted? I would expect that we do, in which case I believe we should make people aware of that. If we take the attitude that the copyright applies to the site and not to the individual pages, then I guess we could go back to what sebb was talking about in the first place, and use a boilerplate copyright on each page. -- Martin Cooper Once it's changed, I'll ping Cliff for confirmation.
