This is a demonstration issue. It is deliberately tiny, so it can be
done start to finish in a couple of minutes. If you are brand new, these are
the ones to start with.
Context
Every page footer has the project name and a one-line description, but no copyright or year. It is the sort of small finishing touch that is invisible until somebody points it out.
What to change
Files: All seven .html files
Requirements:
- Add a short line to the footer's first column, under the existing description
- Something like

- Use the existing
muted class so it reads as secondary
- It must be identical on all seven pages — index, git-basics, pr-checklist, glossary, faq, wall and 404
Acceptance criteria
How to verify locally
npx html-validate "*.html"
python3 -m http.server 8000 # check a few pages in both themes
How long this takes
Five minutes. Trivially easy, but it touches seven files — good for showing why "change one thing everywhere" is its own kind of annoying.

Stuck at any point? Comment here saying what you have tried and where it stopped working — that is not an admission of failure, it is how we find out the instructions were unclear.
