Problem/Motivation

There is no way for a user of Project Browser looking to filter by categories to know what falls under which category

Steps to reproduce

Install the Project Browser Module
Go to Exteng - Browser to open Project Browser
Locate the Category filter on the initial page
The categories are listed with no descriptions

Proposed resolution

Add a link to the Category help page somewhere near the Category filter

    We should have the d.o team create a redirect url like drupal.org/category-help and we should link to that; that way if the page URL ever changes or the node ID does or something, the link won't break.

    1) work with DA/d.o webmasters to create redirect
    2) determine UI for adding the help / link
    3) add into svelte code near the categories filter

    (I don't think this will need a test)

    I updated the css and removed the svg from the repo.

    Rebased. I don't have any design reference to know what this should look like, so I'm just posting what it looks like at the current point.

    I think this needs some work:

    • Link to drupal.org should be to a permalink rather than an alias, so /node/3421718
    • Link needs an alt text.
    • Ideally this would be a popup? But to be consistent with say About text formats on editing pages, it should open in a new window?

    Along with the feedback from #10,

    • I think the question mark (?) should also display some short text in a tooltip
    • We could also consider having tooltip text for each category so that on hover it could be easily read rather than everytime reading on the Help page.
