So I was looking around to quickly find the version of a site on which I’m not an admin. I remembered I could find it in the page source code, but realized that might not be too obvious to a non-technical person that was curious what software was being used.
I couldn’t find any discussion about this, but it seemed to me that it might be worthwhile to list on the `/about` page, e.g.:
> ### Powered by Discourse
>
> This site is powered by [Discourse 1.8.0](https://www.discourse.org/), a free & open source software product powering the next generation of civilized discussion.
