Add relevant links in the About modal

[nclm]

When clicking on “About” in Roundcube, the user gets a modal starting like this:

Roundcube Webmail 1.5.1

I believe it really misses a link to Roundcube.

Other improvements could be writing a line about what Roundcube is (after all, if its the default solution provided by my e-mail host, I might except something more informative than technical when clicking on “About”), and possibly to the Github repo or the Contribute page.

For instance it could be something like this:

Roundcube Webmail 1.5.1

This webmail is powered by Roundcube, a fully-featured browser-based e-mail client.

I agree that the wording of the about dialog could be improved and also help reducing support requests from users to us.

Additionally, a link to the official documentation would be very welcome !

I made a PR here: #9720

Things can be rephrased of course, and I would reorder things to have the paragraphs being actual paragraphs (instead of
s) and have the copyright notice very last, but didn’t know how to do that.

I'd specifically include the word "help" because it's a keyword users and searching for, and some of them may not be familiar with what a user guide or documentation may be. For example: "You can find help and further documentation in the user guide." Le 28 novembre 2024 10:09:47 GMT+01:00, nicolas ***@***.***> a écrit :

Great point, I updated :)

Adding a link to Roundcube will not "help reducing support requests from users to us", quite the opposite.

[Cwpute]

Good point @alecpl , too many issues are not dependant on RC per se but on the specific installation supplied to end users.
Maybe then, remove the contribution link and only link the main RC website https://roundcube.net/
I don't know if that's technically feasible and easy to configure for instance maintainers, but the first lines could instead provide a link to their own support team/documentation instead, who would then be able to redirect it to RC if problems do come from the software and not its configuration.
