Updating Footer Info

[WebShells]

@opensourcepos/org i'd like to change the current footer to something more simple and better formatted, also change the website link from github's project to our official website https://opensourcepos.org.

Will submit a PR with the changes, thoughts ?

Current footer: You are using Open Source Point Of Sale version 3.3.2 - 00020b. Please visit the website to learn the latest information about the project.

OSPOS - Open Source Point of Sale v3.3.2 - 00020b

[objecttothis]

Simplifying the footer to contain the basic information is a good idea. Here are my thoughts:

• I'm not sure, but I don't think "all rights reserved" with the copyright mark is the correct way to put it. That is correct for private Intellectual Property, but I think in our case we would replace it with the license that OSPOS falls under The MIT License (MIT). You might see how other opensource projects do it, because I think all rights reserved implies that forking the project is not allowed.
• Name of the Project as a link to opensourcepos.org, the version and hash, and the project start year - Current year are all I would put in the footer. I have typically separated sections of the footer with a pipe " | ", but I'm also not a web designer, so there may be more elegant ways of doing it.

So let's make it something like:

Running Version 3.3.2 - 00020b

More simple and still have the same info

@WebShells I can't tell from your post because of the markup formatting that github is doing. Do you mean this?

Running Version 3.3.2 - 00020b · OpenSourcePOS.org © 2010 - 2020 ·

If you meant it to go on two lines, I'd say we should keep it to one line. Also, I understand why you did the camel case, but it looks funny to me. As for the version, I would ditch "Running Version" and just put the version. My vote would be this:

I'm ambivalent about the pipes, but I think the rest looks cleaner.

This formatting feels best for now.

For the reason that all other info are numbers, i'd like to separate the link to get direct attention for the user to click, that's the only reason i would place it on 2 lines.

I have no problem with the suggestions, just sharing thoughts.
Should be centered, but not working on github :p

Understood. having the link in the center and the fact that it's a link (therefore different color and hover behavior) IMO should make it stand out enough. Two lines feels too bulky to me.

Here is Amazon's

Of course they have no real need for a version number, but since this is a web app, we probably should put it.
