Footer still links to IRC instructions
As stated by a Foundation director, @thibaultamartin, in this Discourse thread, “The GNOME community has become a Matrix-first community”.
The gnome.org footer still has a “IRC Channels” link to (a page that redirects to) https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/IRC. The latter also recommends people use Matrix instead.
Can you please replace the link in the footer? It should say “Chat with us” (people then don’t need to know what Matrix or IRC are, better for onboarding), and point to https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/Matrix
