Description
The banner in the Index jsp template currently allows only the customization of the logo. Installations may want to add more functionality, like the environment, Grouper version, special notices, etc.
The footer also has hardcoded © {institutionName}; thus the only customization option is the institution name. They may not even want a copyright notice.
If the institution wants more customization than that, the option is to fork the index.jsp page itself (there is a commonHead and commonBottom jsp, but these are for scripts and css). The risk is in technical debt of always watching for jsp changes to merge during upgrades, and of having a broken page if the change was not noticed.
If the banner and footer were extracted and made into separate partials that were included during page build, it would be a smaller risk for the maintainer.
