[OWW-Discuss] Hello list! (I'm new)

[Austin Che]

    I've simply removed the extra chat tabs from all pages. This gets
    rid of the page specific chat rooms. We can simply add a link to
    Special:Chat anywhere like the sidebar. This still allows people
    to jump into arbitrary rooms with something like
    http://openwetware.org/wiki/Special:Chat/random
    
    I personally think an IRC backend with a web/php front end would
    be the ideal combination.
