[Tor www-team] IRC channel for www-team

[Rey Dhuny]

Just as an aside, I'm idling in #www-team on Freenode if anybody else wants
to join.

It's on Freenode because I'm connected already anyway, if there's a Tor
project preferred network/channel (http://irc.oftc.net, perhaps?) please
let me (and the mailing list!) know so we can get involved.
