Displaying version of underlying software in footer of web app?
assemblies, versioning, web-applications
Solution
I quite like what is done e.g. here. If you look towards the bottom of the page, there's a piece of text "powered by eve community". If you click that text you get a small chunk of technical information.
To me, this is a nice tradeoff between having the (useful) information readily available (for bug reports, etc.) and having to have (unpleasant) technical jargon visible to users of the site.
Problem
I am thinking about providing a version of say, the database schema and the `dlls` for business logic in the footer of my web application. Is this advised? Are there any pitfalls, or pointers of how to do this best? Usability concerns? I already have a version scheme, for both schema and dlls, used in my CI solution.
