IRC channel

This article contains all information about the #arxfatalis IRC channel.

Purpose of the channel

• Real time developer communication
• Easiest way to stay in regular contact for the currently active developers

Pointers

• Be outspoken. There is no need to be shy. It's easy to overlook new channel guests who just join the channel but don't say a word. A simple "Hi, I'm <name>", often does wonders.
• Don't ask to ask. Shoot right away.
• Be patient. A popular misconception of IRC is that people will reply within 10 seconds to new people who have just joined the channel. If you're outspoken and a bit patient, you'll get the attention of one of the developers. Often rather within 10 minutes, not within 10 seconds though.
