While all official development takes place on the mailing lists and the Savannah trackers,
a lot of discussions are being had on IRC as well. Everybody is welcome to join and follow these channels, but please
respect the below guidelines if you want to participate.
# Asking Questions
If you have a question regarding the Hurd or Debian, a good forum
is often #hurd. **However**, please follow these [guidelines](http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html)
when asking your question. Namely: spend some time trying
to solve the problem on your own (e.g., [search the web](http://www.google.com),
use this wiki, etc.), show us that you did so when you
ask your question, and provide as many relevant details as possible
reproducing them as exactly as possible.
# Staying On-Topic
Please try to stay on topic.
* emacs vs. vi **is not** on topic.
* If it is appropriate for a **slashdot comment**, it's not appropriate
here.
* why GNU sucks **is off-topic**
* when the next release of the Hurd will be **is inappropriate**
# Pasting Logs
Sometimes providing a log or some other excerpt of text can
help solve a problem or answer a question. **Do not** paste
the log in the channel itself. Instead use a
[paste bin](http://paste.debian.net).
# Rich Text
Don't use it. Don't use colors. Don't use bold. Don't use emphasis.
# Greeting
If you never contribute to the discussion, there is no need
to always greet the channel when you enter and before leave.
# Channels
All Hurd IRC channels are hosted on [Freenode.net](http://freenode.net/).
* #hurd - The official Hurd IRC channel. Some of the Hurd developers and users hang out there, and discussions about GNU Hurd, GNU/Hurd and
Debian GNU/Hurd are had there.
Local user channels include:
* #hurd-it - Italian
* #hurd-es - Spanish
* #hurdfr - French
* #hurd-de - German
