pythonscript About page should give relevant site names and links.

it is sad that pythonscript About page doesn’t give any single site name or link to reach official page, download page or help forum of pythonscript.

Thanks

Along with making sure that the PythonScript About dialog points to the github repo, @vsrawat's recent forum discussion shows that having the links to the old sourceforge page in the README.md image and in the github repo's "about" section: image just cause confusion.

Either the linked sourceforge page (and the old https://bruderste.in/npp/ps/index.shtml link that @vsrawat dug up somewhere) need to be updated to say that 1.0.8 was the most recent on sourceforge, but that the newest is now hosted here on github; or the github needs to stop linking to those out-of-date sites.

Either way, it's currently very easy for new or inexperienced users to get confused as to where the "official" page is, and what the most recent full release is.

Either the linked sourceforge page (and the old https://bruderste.in/npp/ps/index.shtml link that @vsrawat dug up somewhere)

I didn't find anything in npp About window or npp's ps About window, so I had to google and reached to the above link.

Thanks.

See also #120. Would be easier to change with some help of @bruderstein to be able to change to a github pages version.

I can try and switch that over.

@bruderstein Nice to see you having a look at it. I hope your are fine. It would be also possible to still use sourceforge if you are willing to maintain it, but me feeling is that adding it to github is probably easier for the maintenance. Thanks.
