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.
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.
