<h2><a name="Home-HowtouseourIRCchannels"></a>How to use our IRC channels</h2>
<p>Our IRC channels are available for real-time communication with other community members. They can be an ideal way to get help with a problem you're having, discuss development ideas, or just chat and share information. (We're not always serious!)</p>
<p>Please remember: IRC is not meant to be a 24/7 helpline with immediate support. If your question is not answered right away it may be because no one is awake or no one is paying attention.</p>

This might get their attention faster. You should also consider sending an e-mail to either the implementers mailing list or the developers mailing list.</p></div></div>
