 The obstacle in making people well informed is that most users are not
 paying attention to the About page, especially if an update was
 automatically made or someone else is making it for them. Or even if they
 saw this page, imagine: If I have just updated my site to the latest
 version, my first priority - to go and check if everything is working and
 all this useful information including the message about contribution will
 never catch my attention again, if everything is fine I will go to do what
 I was about to do before this urge to update.

 The desired solution - to make the Dashboard page each time a bit
 different and interesting, alternative and more simple solution — a widget
 to Dashboard with a very small piece about a new version with a call to
 action to read more.
