Summary of change:
'''How to reach community via irc (chat)''' ------ * ''#vems'' IRC channel on server ''efnet.xs4all.nl'' (set your IRC client. There are plenty clients available. [http://www.xchat.org/ xhcat] works reasonably on linux and win32) Or try the Ajax client Mibbit http://widget.mibbit.com/?server=efnet.xs4all.nl&channel=%23vems&autoConnect=true '''Please note that people have moved to the #vems channel''' (from earlier "#avrboard" channel) Note: some behind a non-masquerading firewall (eg. from "work") cannot access this. httptunnel can be used, but it requires a remote hts (server-end) running for the htc (client-end) to connect to. We have the server where we can run hts, yell if you need it. ---- '''CGI-irc gateway''' useful for anyone behind firewall (works from browser) * [http://webchat.xs4all.nl/ working CGI-irc gateway] select ** efnet (important) ** "other channel" ** #vems channel * '''experimental chat''' (not yet used by users) installed on http://monster.vems.hu ** a standard http (should work everywhere) ** and a JAVA based (requires JAVA enabled). Not sure of any advantage for this simple app. * original cgi-irc link (set #avrboard channel and efnet.xs4all.nl servername!): [http://www.chat.net/cgi-bin/irc.cgi chat.net CGI IRC gateway] - doesn't seem to work recently * http://www.directory.co.uk/CGI_Irc.htm to find a CGI IRC gateway if the above says "too many connections" * this did not allow setting ''#avrboard'' channel, I think: http://www.kernelnewbies.org/welcome/irc.cgi When making queries, the '''best way is to write the setup/problem in wiki''' (often under MembersPage) '''and ask on irc copypasting the wiki link''' ('''except for the most simple questions''' when the wiki query might be useless - not interesting for others - if the question is answered right away). Remember that anything written on irc will be lost ("formatting" is too noisy, so almost noone reads the whole irclog) so if something deserves to stay, it should be in wiki (or in version tracking system like CVS or SubVersionSvn). ---- '''See also''' * ListsAndForums
Optional: Add document to category:
Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ... '''Bold''', ---- is horizontal ruler, <code> preformatted text... </code> See wiki editing HELP for tables and other formatting tips and tricks.
