"About" can just pop up a dialog with JBrowse 2, the version number, and our funding sources. Similar to JBrowse 1.
"Help" just pops up a dialog about JBrowse and points people to the help email address.
Help email address is support@jbrowse.org, and that is an alias for jbrowse-dev@lists.berkeley.edu
A few concerns here:
These are currently drawer widgets, not dialogs, and I lean toward leaving them that way for now since creating a generic framework for dialogs that can be accessed by the menus and plugins is probably more work than we want to do before this release.
I don't think we can use the jbrowse-dev mailing list for this. Ian specifically said about the jbrowse-dev mailing list:
This list is NOT intended for - bug reports, user support, feature requests, kitten pix
So we need some other method of user support. I would suggest starting a "jbrowse2" (or similar) tag on biostars and having user support questions go there.
An initial pass at this is on master
Probably need to have these say something meaningful before the public alpha. Right now they just have some placeholder text.
