Project Dashboard - Add VERSION information to top/static section of project dashboard
In release 7.13 the dashboard redesign removed some automated functionality that is considered quite key by some:
- CI status badge on dashboard. Currently this can be shown if you use a
readme.md
on the dashboard but as a manager I want to see the contribution history and the CI status on one page. - Version (taken from a projects
VERSION
file of the primary branch)
While I'd love to see both of these come back, the more important one for me is VERSION simply because there is no other way of displaying (can't be hooked in the readme.md
)
Solution
Add version (if present) to the lower set of links on profile. I'd suggest putting it to the left of Changelog. To preserve the aesthetic of the new UI it has been suggested that Contribution guide
be renamed to Contributing
.
