<h3>Chat online with the Evergreen community</h3>
-<p class="content">Quite a few of us (developers, contributors, enthusiasts, etc.) hang out on the <a href="http://freenode.net/">Freenode</a> Internet Relay Chat <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC">(IRC) network</a> for real-time chat, on channel <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/Evergreen">#Evergreen</a>. In early February of 2008, <a href="http://list.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-general/2008-February/thread.html#560">we</a> <a href="http://list.georgialibraries.org/pipermail/open-ils-dev/2008-February/thread.html#2446">decided</a> to start publicly logging the channel so that everyone could benefit from the knowledge shared there. You may <a href="/irc_logs/">browse</a> these logs, and if you're on channel, you may prepend a specific message with an exclamation mark (!) to prevent that message from being logged. We also have a <a target="_blank" href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=evergreen">web gateway</a> to the channel. Like most forums on the Internet, IRC has its own culture and etiquette, and when in doubt over something, just ask.</p>
