From RCC 2007

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an instant messaging focused around topics rather than people, and requires no registration. For the conference, we'll be on server: irc.freenode.net hannel: #recentchangescamp

How to use Internet Relay Chat (IRC)

If you don't already know about IRC, the easiest thing to do is to click here: http://ircatwork.com/ then make up a nickname, and enter the information for the Recent Changes Camp channel: server = irc.freenode.net and channel = #recentchangescamp

If you want help figuring out how to use IRC feel free to post a question here, or check out some documentation yourself: http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/

Downloadable IRC software is a little more complicated, but has more features. Some recommendations for different systems:

• Mac - Colloquy
• Windows - mIRC, Trillian, Gaim
• Linux - Gaim, kvirc
• Cross-platform - Chatzilla

You may be able to just click here: irc://irc.freenode.net#recentchangescamp (for Chatzilla and some others)
