So you have forked the adopt-a-hydrant project. Now what? One of the first things you will need to do is to update the code to reference your local community. Otherwise you will have many a confused users wondering why Boston or Honolulu is mentioned for your adopt-a app. A side note, adopt-a-hydrant uses "things" when referring to what is adopted.

This is a brief guide to help you localize the code to your community.

Update Terms of Service:

• Replace fire hydrant with your "Thing" (use find and replace)
• Change AAH to AA"First Letter of Your Thing", so for adopt-a-drain it would be AAD.
• Replace Boston with your City (Line 13 & 233)
• Replace Commonwealth of Massachusetts with your State (Line 233)
• Replace hydrant specific language with your "things" language (line 13-32), for adopt a drain this would include removing references to shoveling.
• Update last date of update (last line)

Update Mailer:

• Replace hydrant with your "Thing"
• Convert message text so that it works with your "Thing"
