[Wocky] gaim in the Athena release

I have finished putting gaim into the Athena 9.4 release (for alpha
and beta machines currently; it will follow for early machines in a
few days).  I settled on version 1.4.0, which is the most recent
version at the moment.

Since users running gaim will be nudged in the direction of a Jabber
service which has only pilot support, I think we need a short web page
which describes the current level of support and who to contact
(i.e. us) with feedback.  We can point people to this page via the
Athena release notes, the Athena consultants, and the SWRT software
release page when we have an installer ready.  Also, I notice that
http://web.mit.edu/ist/start/communicating/index.html refers to
Zephyr, and should probably refer to this new web page as well.

I envision this page as becoming analagous to
http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/email/index.html, so perhaps it should
live in the analagous place: ist/topics/jabber/index.html.

Does that sound reasonable to people?  If I draft some initial text
for the page, can Heather edit and format it and put it up in the
appropriate place?
