I saw the link for "how to use IRC" on QA's page and thought it a good 
idea as one of our newer members said he had to go look up use of IRC.

As to #fedorabot IRC channel, I am not sure that is helpful in the 
communication information, no one talks there that I know of and would 
be a less than ideal place to "communicate" with us. It should be on the 
wiki just maybe not the first page.  "ways to track bugs" is something 
for the getting started or deeper beyond that page is my thought.

Goals for revamping the wiki should  be something like  not overwhelm 
the new user with information overload yet still ensure information that 
needs to be there is there and is easy to find and structured in a way 
that makes sense. Not an easy task but one we should be able to accomplish.

thanks iarlyy for the feedback, I hope others will join in with their 
idea's as well.
