Internet Relay Chat

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an instant messaging system that works well with groups, and requires no registration.

Most of the time, and certainly during NVC Wiki Day, someone into NVC who can help you with this wiki is on IRC here:

Server: irc.freenode.net, Channel: #nvc

IRC software for different systems which we recommend:

• Mac - Colloquy
• Windows - mIRC, Trillian
• Linux - kvirc, ksirc
• Cross-platform:
  • Chatzilla (on all three, and lets you click on this link to connect: irc://irc.freenode.net#nvc )
  • Gaim (Linux and Windows)
