Additions:
If you come to ###wikka## for support, just [[http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | ask your question]] (the smart way), but please remember that not everyone seemingly "present" in the channel may be actively paying attention: they may be at work or they may be asleep. Ask anyway, or make a suggestion! Don't run away if you don't get an immediate reply, people may be busy or on the phone and get back to you later: give us some time.
If you need help with using IRC, there's also the [[http://ircguide.object4.net/ | IRC Guide]] (running on Wikka, what else?) and its companion ###ircguide## channel. (The wiki is still very new, so if you don't find what you need there, try asking in the channel.)
If you need help and don't want or don't know how to use IRC, you can subscribe to the [[WikkaMailingLists | Wikka Community mailing list]] to find support.

~-**Trillian**: [[http://www.trillian.cc/downloads/ | Trillian]] also supports IRC (including the free 'Basic' version) but it is a rather limited implementation; unless you already have Trillian, you're probably better off with X-Chat or mIRC.

Your nick is how people on freenode know you. If you register it, you'll be able to use the same nick over and over. If you don't register, someone else may end up registering the nick you want. So, make sure you register your nickname with **""NickServ""**; see the [[http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup | registration instructions]]. (Make sure you remember the password you choose!) It helps, of course, if your nickname on Freenode.net is the same as your Wikka username, but that is not required. You can only receive left messages (see below) if you have registered your nick.
Here's a **very** good FAQ about IRC Nicknames: ++[[http://www.tiscali.co.uk/help/chat/irc_nicknames.html | IRC CHAT- Nicknames]]++ //(dead link)//
You will only receive a notification you have a message intended for you (your **registered** nick) when you log on when you have your NOTIFY on (it seems to be on by default when you join Freenode.net). Leaving and reading messages is quite simple, and you can get instructions by typing %%/msg MemoServ help%% and follow further instructions from there. To make things a little simpler to learn, I've summarized the help info for **""MemoServ""** on a [[TheLoungeLeavingMessages | separate page]].

Edited on 2008-03-22 20:32:49 by BrianKoontz [added dev schedule]
Additions:
===When are the Wikka devs online?===
Please note that Wikka developers have lives outside of Wikka, and may not always be present at times indicated, or may be online at other times. Also, some of us idle on the channel, so just because you see our nicks doesn't necessary mean we're around. Best way to get our attention is to just send a message with the nick at the start of your line. For example:
%%
brianko: you around?
%%
==Tentative online schedule==
~-BrianKoontz (freenode nick: **brianko**) Usually 0200-0600 GMT (8-12 p.m. CDT).

===Registering your IRC nickname===
Your nick is how people on freenode know you. If you register it, you'll be able to use the same nick over and over. If you don't register, someone else may end up registering the nick you want. So, make sure you register your nickname with **""NickServ""**; see the [[http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup registration instructions]]. (Make sure you remember the password you choose!) It helps, of course, if your nickname on Freenode.net is the same as your Wikka username, but that is not required. You can only receive left messages (see below) if you have registered your nick.
Here's a **very** good FAQ about IRC Nicknames: [[http://www.tiscali.co.uk/help/chat/irc_nicknames.html IRC CHAT- Nicknames]]
===Leaving messages===
The Freenode.net servers also provide a neat and useful service: we can leave messages for each other! That's very useful for a group like us with members around the globe, living and working in different timezones. This service is known as **""MemoServ""**.
For starters, make sure you register your nickname with **""NickServ""** - see above. In theory, you can leave a message for a channel, but in practice, most people can only leave a message for another person - and you have to know that person's **registered** nickname; if the intended recipient logs on with a different nickname, (s)he won't see the message.
You will only receive a notification you have a message intended for you (your **registered** nick) when you log on when you have your NOTIFY on (it seems to be on by default when you join Freenode.net). Leaving and reading messages is quite simple, and you can get instructions by typing %%/msg MemoServ help%% and follow further instructions from there. To make things a little simpler to learn, I've summarized the help info for **""MemoServ""** on a [[TheLoungeLeavingMessages separate page]].

Additions:
~-Once connected to a channel with your client, you can also try joining the "pseudo channel" #help: %%/join #help%% or (for newbies) %%/join #irchelp%%
Your nick is how people on freenode know you. If you register it, you'll be able to use the same nick over and over. If you don't register, someone else may end up registering the nick you want. So, make sure you register your nickname with **""NickServ""**; see the [[http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup registration instructions]]. (Make sure you remember the password you choose!) It helps, of course, if your nickname on Freenode.net is the same as your Wikka username, but that is not required. You can only receive left messages (see below) if you have registered your nick.

For starters, make sure you register your nickname with **""NickServ""** - see above. In theory, you can leave a message for a channel, but in practice, most people can only leave a message for another person - and you have to know that person's **registered** nickname; if the intended recipient logs on with a different nickname, (s)he won't see the message.
You will only receive a notification you have a message intended for you (your **registered** nick) when you log on when you have your NOTIFY on (it seems to be on by default when you join Freenode.net). Leaving and reading messages is quite simple, and you can get instructions by typing %%/msg MemoServe help%% and follow further instructions from there. To make things a little simpler to learn, I've summarized the help info for **""MemoServe""** on a [[TheLoungeLeavingMessages separate page]].

===Registering your IRC nickname===
Your nick is how people on freenode know you. If you register it, you'll be able to use the same nick over and over. If you don't register, someone else may end up registering the nick you want. So, make sure you register your nickname with **""NickServ""**; see the [[http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup registration instructions]]. (Make sure you remember the password you choose!) It helps, of course, if your nickname on Freenode.net is the same as your Wikka username, but that is not required.
===Leaving messages===
The Freenode.net servers also provide a neat and useful service: we can leave messages for each other! That's very useful for a group like us with members around the globe, living and working in different timezones. This service is known as **""MemoServ""**.
For starters, make sure you register your nickname with **""NickServ""** - see above. In theory, you can leave a message for a channel, but in practice, most people can only leave a message for another person - and you have to know that person's nickname; if the intended recipient logs on with a different nickname, (s)he won't see the message.

See http://silverex.info/installation/ (and make sure you allow the GTK+ runtime installer to set the PATH variable)
~''**NOTE:** The legality of the "shareware" release of X-Chat (which is GPL) is being hotly debated; at least the free distributions //are// legal.
