Re: combine IRC channels?

This is something I like in general - the IG and WG are really working on
the same thing, and it'd be good to increase the communication between us.
I'm also in favor of continuing to use #socialig for meetings, however, as
it seems that SocialWG discussions have a tendency to spill over into IG
meeting periods (as was demonstrated during the last IG meeting, for
example)
