A small note at the bottom doesn't hurt ...

... but then again, it's doesn't necessarily help all that much either.

I'm (sort of) a strong believer in a small note at the bottom of a web page that says something like: "last modified on ...". The "sort of" essentially means that though I urge others to do this, it's not necessarily a practice that I keep up myself. (And it's not called for in the Boidem.) If we meet a page that tells us that it was "last modified" three years ago, however, it's still not clear that work on it was purposefully stopped. For that we'd need something like: "last and final modification on ...". Now that would be a clear sign.
