[Icehouse] SLICK v Icehousegames.org

[Kristin]

can someone post a link to the old slick?  is it really still online?

I thought we had redirected the old page to the wiki - and my searching
is not turning it up right now...  what's the URL?  oh wait, never mind,
found it:  <http://www.icehousegames.com/SLICK.html>

I added a link to the wiki - we could also just have this page auto
redirect instead - what do people think?  Is there ANY value in this
old page?  or should we just make it go away?
