[edit] SiT IRC Channel for Live Chat
If you are interested in SiT Development, need some help, or want to discuss any aspect of the application you can chat to other users and developers in real-time in our IRC channel:
#sit on freenode
Don't be afraid to say hello, we're a friendly bunch. The channel now has a public log and some statistics at http://sitracker.org/irc/
If you arrive in the channel when nobody is around or when nobody is chatting right now, please do stay around a while it may sometimes take us a long time to respond. The channel is busiest between 10:00 and 17:00 UTC most days.
[edit] About Freenode
Freenode is a service of Peer-Directed Projects Center, a non-profit organization. Freenode hosts the SiT IRC channel, along with hundreds of other channels and is the main IRC infrastructure for opensource development projects.
[edit] Web based IRC
If you don't have an IRC client installed, you can use the web chat client at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sit or the java web client at http://java.freenode.net/?channel=sit
[edit] SiT IRC Rules
Please observe the few rules below (Yes, we need these, no one is exempt):
- Be polite - no foul language will be tolerated.
- Respect the users in the chat
- Ask questions - if you are unsure about anything related to IRC, we will assist you to the best of our abilities. :)
- Sending unsolicited Private Messages, (chatting back channel) is NOT allowed.
- If you think you were treated unfairly, send an e-mail to ericthefish <ivan [at] sitracker [dot] org> (Note: We will at least need the Nick of the person whom you wish to log a complaint against.)
- Personal bots are not allowed. Any unauthorised bot will be kicked.
- Don't flood the channel - use a paste service such as http://sit.pastebin.com
- Cloning, i.e. more than one client logged in from the same address, is discouraged.
English is the official language of the channel, please use English wherever you can. Although there may be people in the channel that speak other languages more people will understand you if you speak English. Thanks.
[edit] Cloaks
Our group is now registered with freenode so we can offer project affiliation cloaks. These are available to everybody, just ask. See this faq and this one on freenode and make sure you meet the requirements and then ask in the #sit channel or email Ivan.
Examples: (assuming your nick is bunny)
-
bunny@sit/hacker/bunny -
bunny@sit/translator/bunny -
bunny@sit/contributor/bunny -
bunny@sit/user/bunny
