IRC is an excellent public forum -- both for helping users and for getting to know other committers.  We have official group status on [http://freenode.net Freenode].  You can connect to Freenode by pointing your IRC client at irc.freenode.net.  These are the main channels we maintain:
 
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/#eclipse #eclipse] - questions from plug-in developers and users
 
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/#eclipse-dev #eclipse-dev] - Eclipse committer discussion and socializing - a good rule of thumb is this channel is for the development of org.eclipse.* plugins
 
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/#eclipse-commits #eclipse-commits] - lists all commits as they come in (See [http://cia.navi.cx CIA])
 
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/#eclipse-soc #eclipse-soc] - official channel for [[Google_Summer_of_Code|Eclipse Summer of Code]]
 
  
There are also more project specific channels:
 
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/#eclipse-cdt-dev #eclipse-cdt-dev] - C/C++ Development Tools committer discussion and socializing - a good rule of thumb is this channel is for the development of org.eclipse.cdt.* plugins. Usually empty.
 
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/#eclipse.de #eclipse-de] - german localized version of #eclipse
 
* [irc://irc.freenode.net/#eclipse-ecf #eclipse-ecf] - the discussion channel for the [[Eclipse Communication Framework Project|Eclipse Communication Framework]]
 
 
A [http://echelog.matzon.dk/?eclipse log] of the the traffic on #eclipse is available on the web. There is also a [http://eclipsewiki.editme.com/IrcFaq second Eclipse IRC FAQ] available on-line which has some content copied to [[IRC FAQ]].
 
 
If you are a committer on an eclipse project, then you can get yourself a developer cloak.  A developer cloak identifies you as a committer on the Eclipse project, gives you some privileges on the channel and masks your hostname.  If you would like a developer cloak, please contact '''paulweb515''' or '''nitind''' on IRC.
 
 
If you are having trouble choosing an IRC client, we recommend [http://chatzilla.hacksrus.com/ ChatZilla] which will integrate nicely into Firefox.
 
 
Another choice is [http://www.eclipse.org/ecf ECF's IRC client], which runs as a view inside of Eclipse.
