This reverts my previous revert and changes the links.

I know we're just reverting this but it seems like an opportunity to change the menu item to "Get Involved" which sounds a little more immersive and personal than "Hacking on Brackets". "Get Involved" may intrigue more folks into actually getting involved which is nice...

Sure, we can try that. I wasn't sure initially if Get Involved would be as clear.

We should think about how these changes map onto other flavors like Edge Code, too. Does the forum menu item need to stick around for that reason, for example? Or I guess the support menu item would map onto that?

Yeah, I think the support menu item would point to the forum for Edge Code.

This feels a little "wordy" and syntactically awkward grammar-wise. Can we just shorten it to "Troubleshooting" since the page that it links to actually is the "Troubleshooting guide".

Says so right in the title :)

In other distributions it might be something else -- for example, for Edge Code it would link to the support forum.

@peterflynn We can't have different strings for Edge Code and Brackets for this menu item?

That's fair, presumably we could. I'll defer to whatever @dangoor thinks makes sense.

I prefer Support to Troubleshooting because I think it's really more about
answering users' questions than troubleshooting. It will often be
troubleshooting, but not always. (If anything, I'd be more of the opinion
of changing the page title on GitHub, but I see no reason to do that now...
and the page title is a small thing.)

@dangoor you could do {APP_NAME} Support which is less awkward than Support for Brackets. Support for Brackets syntactically is a call for the user to help us (like a PBS Pledge Drive) whereas Brackets support is fairly standard phrasing for help using something or technical support. That would give you the flexibility to templatize the string so that the product name is determined at runtime without having to have different strings for each build.

@JeffryBooher "Support for Using Brackets" doesn't sound like a pledge drive, and that's the string the PR currently has. But I agree "Brackets Support" sounds a little nicer nonetheless.

What do you mean about templatizing though? The string in this PR is already using {APP_NAME}...

... as opposed to using two different strings for Brackets and Edge Code.

I'm afk for the evening... I'm fine with APP_NAME Support

I can make the change and merge it.

Looks good all tests pass but I ran into #7420 which seems like a recent thing but this also occurs in master and running all integration tests on the Mac is not a problem. Also running the failed tests again individually is ok.
