Add IRC details to static page

Since IRC channels and policies should be quite
stable, a static page seems more fitting than
a wiki one.

+<p><a href="http://www.freenode.net">Freenode.net</a> hosts multiple IRC
+channels for Wine. You can access the chat rooms using an IRC program such as
+<a href="http://www.xchat.org/">X-Chat</a> with these settings:</p>

-<p>If you use Firefox or any other browser that supports IRC URLs, you can
-join the chat by clicking on <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/winehq">irc://irc.freenode.net/winehq</a>.</p>
+<p>Which channel you should pick depends on the issue you want to discuss:</p>
+   
+<blockquote>
+    <b>#winehq:</b> User support and help with running Wine<br />
+    <b>#crossover:</b> User support and help with running Crossover<br />
+    <b>#winehackers:</b> Development and other ways of contributing to
+        Wine<br />
+    <b>#winehq-social:</b> Casual, off-topic chats with other community

+    <li><a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/winehq">#winehq</a></li>
+    <li><a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/crossover">#crossover</a></li>

+</ul>
+
+<p>In order to keep discussions focused and as helpful as possible, also try
+to research your question some before asking about it on the IRC. The
+<a href="http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ">Wine FAQ</a>,
+<a href="http://appdb.winehq.org">AppDB</a>, and
+<a href="http://www.winehq.org/site/download">download page</a> are all good
+resources to check first.</p>
+
+<h2>IRC Rules and Penalties</h2>
+
+<p>Besides not being offensive or blatantly inconsiderate, there are a few
+simple rules that everyone is expected to follow on the IRC channels. In most
+cases, breaking a rule will be seen as an accident at first and will result in
+warnings. After you have used up your warnings though, you will be kicked from
+the channel.</p>
+
+<p>If you continue to break a rule after using up your kicks, you will be
+banned from the channel for up to 2 hours. Any problems after this will
+result in an indefinite ban, which can only be overturned by appeal. If you
+want to contest a ban, go to <b>#winehq-social</b> (or the
+<a href="mailto:wine-devel at winehq.org">wine-devel mailing list</a> if you've
+been banned from <b>#winehq-social</b>), and explain why you believe you were
+banned in the first place and why the ban should be lifted.</p>
