===== Registering your Nick =====

While at [[wp>IRC]] it is a benefit to register the nick, so nobody else can use it. Look here for an step-by-step guide: [[http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup|Freenode FAQ - Nicksetup]]


===== Channel Rules =====

  * Read the [[http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml|Freenode Channel Guidelines]]
  * Be patient, users might not answer right away because they may be busy((most developers are from Europe so try to adjust to the CET timezone if possible))
  * When talking about code use a [[http://dokuwiki.pastebin.com|pastebin]] instead of posting huge chunks of code
  * If your problem got solved on IRC, please update the documentation accordingly. If you posted about it on the [[mailinglist]] or [[forum]] before, follow it up with a description of the solution

The IRC channel is logged by a bot called ''dokubot''. Searchable chat logs are available at http://irc.dokuwiki.org
