# How to get help from a project's #channel in IRC

# Read project release notes

# Read project bugs

# Find a decent client

# Settle on a nick or your real name, whatever

# Disable logging

# Consider using a terminal that isn’t going to flood channels with join and part messages

# Join the channel

# If asked, introduce yourself

# Idle for a few weeks

# Contribute help

# If your homework assignment is still due and you can’t figure it out,
