21 * Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
23 Like many Free Software projects Org has an active IRC channel on the
24 Freenode IRC network. IRC is a form of real time chat with other users
25 who join the network and are participating in the channel.

32 * Nickname Registration
34 *UPDATE (September 2020):* We are currently experimenting with lifting
35 the freenode account registration requirement for =#org-mode=. As of
36 now, registering an account is /not/ required for joining the channel.
37 If this experiment goes well, we will continue to not require an
38 account. Watch this space for future updates.
40 Currently you must have a registered nickname with Freenode to join
43 Please see instructions at: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration
47 IRC is a highly asynchronous form of chat. If the channel is not busy,
48 don't be discouraged. Users come and go and watch the history.
50 When you join the channel, there is no need to ask whether you can ask
51 a question. Please ask directly what you would like to discuss, and
52 wait for a reply. You may wait quite some time so don't ask and quit
55 Be polite and respect other users. Rude behavior and spam are not
58 Examples of etiquette guides from other channels:

63 Please consider using a privacy friendly paste service for posting
64 code, like http://bpaste.net/ .
