===[[Wikipedia:Internet Relay Chat|Internet Relay Chat]] (or IRC)===
An official IRC channel has been created for the OrthodoxWiki: #orthodoxwiki on freenode.net. The channel is a place for live discussion about work on the wiki. Please feel free to use it as an addendum to wiki discussion via article talk pages.
Our channel is registered through [http://freenode.net/ freenode] and classifies as a [http://freenode.net/primary_groups.shtml primary], [http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#ontopic on-topic] channel because it is used to primarily talk about official work on the wiki. We are further classified as a [http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#ontopic Web Media] channel, as we are an online community reference site. You can find out more about freenode at [http://freenode.net/faq.shtml their frequently asked questions page].
==IRC ClientsTutorial==
In order to use IRC you must have an IRC client. This is, generally, a small piece of software installed locally on your computer. IRC is sometimes considered the grandfather of modern instant messaging. You may be more familiar with instant messaging using software packages like AOL, Yahoo!, or MSN Instant Messager.
