Re: chat links

Hi, DougM:

The link to the community meetings is in the Ed_Guide, after we give the
host and channel, we say:

Log in using a browser and ask the team questions
<http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#webplatform> or use an irc client
<http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Editors_Guide/step_2_communicate_with
_the_online_community/irc_clients>. Log in to the IRC channel during
scheduled meetings 
<http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Community/Meetings> or anytime you
want to share ideas or ask questions.

But if you think it needs to be elsewhere, go for it!

As far as the lower-case "t", I didn't see to what you were referring. But
it looks like Lea is updating the global nav, so you may have caught a
glimpse in mid-stream.

Thanks much for removing any barriers to communication!

Regards.

Julee
