The 'About Koha' button links to very important community and version information, but it seems out of place among the buttons for applications used on a daily basis by staff users. Could it be moved to the top menu or to the bottom of every page where 'about' buttons/links are more commonly found in web interfaces/applications?
I can see what you mean, but wonder where else we could place it well. Maybe we could keep it in the "More" pull down and also link the version numbering now visible on the start page to it?
Those sound like perfect suggestions!

Created attachment 169187 [details] [review] Bug 37029: Remove 'About Koha' from intranet-main This patch removes the 'About Koha' link as a module button, and instead uses the 'Koha xx.xx.xx' version URL on the mainpage as a shortcut to the 'About Koha' page. Additionally, a link to the Koha Community website has been added to the bottom of the 'About Koha' page, in the same place the 'Koha xx.xx.xx' version URL appears on the mainpage. To test: a) Log in to Koha's staff client b) Notice the 'About Koha' module button, and that the 'Koha xx.xx.xx' version URL goes to the Koha Community website. c) Notice that on the 'About Koha' page, there is no link to the Koha Community website. d) --> Apply patch <-- e) Notice that the About Koha module button is now missing f) Notice that the 'Koha xx.xx.xx' version URL now goes to 'About Koha' g) Notice that on the 'About Koha' page, there is now a link for the Koha Community website at the bottom of the page.

Nice little improvement, thanks Jake. Passing QA
This will need some clear release notes just in case people miss it ;)
Thanks for all the hard work! Pushed to main for the next 24.11.00 release as RM Assistant
Backported to 24.05.x for upcoming 24.05.04
I prefer not impact 23.11.x for stable behavior on old version.
