[Chameleon] problem in HelpWidget.widget.php

[Christopher R. Thorne]

Thank you, for reviewing the issues with this widget. As you know this 
widget currently does not work. We are are currently rebuilding our 
documentation framework for Chameleon, and probably will not be resolved 
for another couple of months.

This widget as well as other basic widgets will be reviewed and cleaned 
up for our next release, which will be within the next couple of months.
