[Mathew Hodson <mathew.hodson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tested gnome-do 0.9-1ubuntu0.1 from trusty-proposed.

In the About page, the Visit Homepage link goes to
http://do.cooperteam.net/

The Help button in Preferences goes to https://answers.launchpad.net/do

In the Plugins tab, when you click on a plugin then click the About
button, the link still incorrectly goes to do.davebsd.com

That needs to be fixed in the gnome-do-plugins source package, so I am
adding a task for that and marking this verification-done.

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.
