Bug description:
[Impact]
The plugin Help buttons and Do's About link go to do.davebsd.com,
which has been acquired by a spam provider.
This upload changes the About link to go to do.cooperteam.net (the
current homepage), and points the plugin Help buttons at Launchpad.
[Test Case]
Start gnome-do; type ‘about do’ and hit <enter> to summon the About
page. Click on the Homepage link, and verify that it goes to
do.cooperteam.net.
Summon gnome-do, type ‘preferences’ and hit <enter> to summon the
preferences page. Go to the “Plugins” tab and select any plugin. Hit
the “About” button, if enabled. This should not take you to
do.davebsd.com (but might do nothing).
[Regression Potential]
This code is only used in the About page and plugin About links, so
that's what should be checked. Regressions are unlikely, the most
likely regression would be crashes when pressing the buttons.
[Original report]
When clicking on 'help' in the gnome-do preferences, the link opened
is "do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Using_Do", it redirects
several times, opening various spammy sites (gambling, shopping, etc).
The real problem isn't gnome-do per se, but rather that do.davebsd.com
seems to have been co-opted.
