Unfortunately, this text does not explain nick registration, which is
required for entry into #fedora (so the webchat link will not work for
most people).

For what it's worth, here's some text (specific to webchat) that could
possibly be added to the website, or perhaps a wiki page on the topic.
Unfortunately, we have no good non-English instructions for registering
your nick on IRC, which seems like a pretty big hurdle for somebody new
to IRC.

'''
Next, you must register your nickname.  To do this, enter "/msg NickServ
register [password] [email address]" into the text box at the bottom of
the page.  Next, follow the directions in the email sent to your address
to confirm your account.  Once your account has been confirmed, you can
join the #fedora channel by entering "/join #fedora" into the text box.
'''

Thanks,
Ricky
