Add IRC web links to www main
Currently the IRC protocol handle is used on www.g.o for the  All IRC channels page. Many in our community may not understand how to use IRC clients and/or would prefer to use IRC via web chat. Offering web chat links on the page as well will lower the barrier of entry for community members to receive real time support. In particular, a few users on Reddit were struggling with ebuild development and had questions about the devmanual. It would be great to help them gain accessibility to real time help via web chat.

Bug #

Fix broken news item links for www
Links to news items posted on www.g.o, such as the bash completion news item on the Bash/Installing completion files article, eventually end up being removed when they get purged out of the gentoo:: ebuild repository. For reference sake, I think items should persist on www.

make old www content available
I'd like the old site to be referenced for historical purposes. It is available via the wayback machine.

Would it be worth re-writing/converting entries from the old site to current www?

Ebuild primer link fixes
Basic_guide_to_write_Gentoo_Ebuilds link should probably be reworded. Perhaps "Introduction to ebuilds" would be a better title. This page is linked from www.g.o here: https://www.gentoo.org/get-involved/contribute/ (under "Maintain ebuild" section).

This should be be updated to whatever for the new wiki article title ends up being...
