** Description changed:

+ [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.
