On OS X, we'll be using Colloquy, a popular graphical IRC chat client.
IRC client setup instructions
- Download Colloquy from this link.
- Optionally, through the material on Getting started with Colloquy. You can practice using IRC more on your own, later in the day.
IRC client practice: joining the Wikimania channel
During this workshop we'll get practice using IRC and help each other as we contribute to project in the #wikimania channel on the Freenode network.
Here are the connection details for joining the Freenode network and the Wikimania IRC channel:
IRC server name: irc.freenode.net channel name: #wikimania
Given that information, and reviewing the Colloquy overview above, use Colloquy to connect to Freenode and join the Wikimania channel. Pick any nickname you like. :) Once you have joined the channel, say hello!
