menu IPFire > Help goes to help.cgi

All,

I noticed there is a `help.cgi` WebGUI referenced in the `60-ipfire.menu` file.

```
    $subipfire->{'99.help'} = {'caption' => $Lang::tr{'help'},
				  'uri' => '/cgi-bin/help.cgi',
				  'title' => "$Lang::tr{'help'}",
				  'enabled' => 1,
				  };
```

Is this something we can (should?) populate?

We could add simple items like links to the Wiki, Blog, Community, Bugzilla, etc.

Or maybe add other items like Location, GitHub, People, Dev Archives, etc.

Or maybe something else?

I’m not sure what the original intent was many years ago....

Hello Jon,

Very interesting find. There has never been a “help.cgi” file in the code base as far as I can see.

It looks like I added those lines there, but I do not know why and when and what the hell I was thinking.

So, please feel free to create something new.

I am not sure if you will be able to fill a whole page with all those links, but it might be a great place for users to start.

My only thought is that it is probably easier to link the wiki since we can update that a lot easier.
