Re: chat links

Thanks for the bug report pointer, fro.  That covers it in detail.  Nothing
to add.

Julee -- In the "communicating with the team" content you quoted:

The freenode link (2nd line, in bold) points to the #webplatform channel,
but the Friday calls use #webplatform-site.

Since I don't understand the difference between the two channels, it's hard
for me to fix directly, but I assume that we would explicitly say something
like the main channel is monitored 7x24, and the site channel is only
monitored during meetings (and during those new community drop-in hours to
be defined?).

Do we have a link to archived meeting chats?
