The informal meeting place of Apertium is the Internet Relay Chat channel #apertium at irc.freenode.net.
Linux and Windows users might like the light-weight and highly configurable http://xchat.org/. There is also https://smuxi.im/ which has some nice proxy features and Ubuntu/Gnome integration, and https://hexchat.github.io/ which is a popular actively developed fork of xchat.
Mac users may like http://colloquy.info/ which seems quite well integrated with the Mac desktop.
Clicking irc://irc.freenode.net/#apertium should connect your client if you've installed it, otherwise select irc.freenode.net from the servers and join #apertium.
If you for some reason don't have access to install a chat client, you can try http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=apertium or our CGI::IRC client in your web browser. The webchat seems to disconnect a lot though, we recommend using a real desktop client.
Many users have their IRC nick name listed on their users page.
If you want to share code snippets or long examples on IRC, please use our pastebin.
Logs
User:Tino Didriksen keeps logs.
There's also a 28 day summary, which gives such cryptic information as:
17 Mitch-J 127 1466 19 days ago "Hmm same as spectie, which doesn't grant much flexibility" 22 Sir48 98 757 today "wir parlen todos languages :)" 25 Afal 70 628 3 days ago "and last year I was since I was in the local boys choir"
IRC FAQ
Can I ask people questions here?
Yes!
Don't ask to ask a question, just get to the point and ask the real question.
- Don't do:
<Guest45011> Anyone here? Can I ask a question? - Instead, do:
<Guest45011> I'm trying to compile XYZ and getting this error: http://dpaste.de/foobar How do I fix this?
Then hang around (don't quit the chat program) until someone answers.
Can I write @name on IRC?
As on Twitter? Yes, just leave off the @. If your IRC client does not highlight the name you wrote, stay calm. The user will still be notified if you have spelt their username correctly. Most clients give username completion if you write the first characters and press TAB.
Can I send a personal message on IRC?
Yes, but most of us prefer if you speak to us in the #apertium channel. If you have something private to talk about, you can use /msg USERNAME some message to send a private message.
What is this begiak user on about?
It's a bot. See begiak for more info.
Are there IRC plugins for Apertium?
Yes! See Plugin_for_XChat and Plugin_for_Pidgin
