This pull request replaces several stale G+ links with links to the very active Gitter community ( resolves #288 ).

Where did you find the image/svg? I've been going over their docs and failing to find anything nicer... but it would be nice to have something with a bit of text, so it is a bit more obvious what the button does. I see readme badges (unofficially provided), and their sidecar widget (with a broken website), but that's all I can find so far...

I copied code from the gitter page and included it with gwt colors in a svg file because it seems there isn't something official provided. There is a logo at Wikipedia but that's a little bit to heavy for including I think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gitter#/media/File:Gitter_logo.png

Especially if you take into account that the menu is expandable. Ultimately I tried to make it look (and work ) like the G+ link before.

I like the readme badge better... but it won't look as nice here. Let's go with this for the moment at least. Mildly worried that it will look like just another gwt logo if people don't know what gitter is. Absent any other gitter guidance, I'm also not sure it is okay to modify their logo to display it.

Wording: we don't have many (any?) first-person statements, perhaps something like "Join the GWT community on Gitter", "Chat on Gitter about GWT", etc?

I also have concerns regarding modification and I also thought about using badges first. Especially because users and developers know these badges from Github. What do you think about making a new pr? I could create one with a badge version.

Yep, we should change wording 👍

No replies from gitter, going to merge, if we hear back later we can iterate further.
