Back to Top List Archives ossie ossie-discuss ossie-dev Selected List FAQ IRC: The Realtime Cyberspace Way For real time assistance, the best way to communicate is via IRC. It is recommended that you check the listserv archives and, if needed, mail the appropriate listserv first to find an answer or arrange to meet someone on IRC. We have an IRC channel named #ossie at irc.freenode.net. Chatzilla is a good irc client for Windows users to start with. The other windows IRC clients eventually require registration. Chatzilla is a good way to find out how effectively we support OSSIE over IRC. Most Linux distributions supply one or more IRC clients such as X-Chat, Pidgin, or Kopete.
