FEATURE REQUEST

Inspiration

To know what tracebase version is on whichever server (dev or prod), it must be inferred from UI elements in the interface, which is not very precise. There's also not a consolidated page for additional project metadata like authors, repo, release notes, citation information, etc. While some of that info may be available in random places or indirectly, via the repo, there's not a consolidated go-to place for that type of information.

Description

Add an "About" page that lists things like:

• version
• repo/download link
• authors
• how to cite
• ... when there is sufficient data for it, also things like:
  • list of labs (1) that use Tracebase
  • list of publications that cite Tracebase
