Bug Description
We purposefully chose *not* to display the Mahara minor version number on the bottom of the page, as part of the general security practice of not giving out unnecessary information. (That said, we may accidentally leak it in some places.)
It'd be useful to know the Mahara *major* version, though, when looking at a site. And since this is easy to detect due to the addition of new features in each major release, it would not have any security ramifications.

I think the best way to do this would be with a meta "generator" tag: http:// www.w3. org/wiki/ HTML/Elements/ meta
Drupal does this, for instance:
<meta name="generator" content="Drupal 7 (http:// drupal. org)" />
