5 <h2>Samba IRC Channels</h2>
7 <p>Samba is discussed on two IRC channels on the <a
8 href="http://www.freenode.net/">FreeNode</a> network (irc.freenode.net).</p>
12 <p>User questions about Samba can be asked in this channel.
13 Please keep a few things in mind:</p>
16 <li>Make sure you have read the right parts of the <a href="docs/">documentation</a> before asking a question.</li>
17 <li>Don't ask if there is anybody who can help, just ask your question. If there is somebody who knows the answer, (s)he will reply.</li>
18 <li>Make sure you are either running the latest version of Samba or
19 have verified that your problem is not fixed in a later release then
20 the one you are running.</li>
21 <li>If you desperately need an answer and nobody is answering on IRC,
22 try the <a href="archives.html">mailing lists</a>.</li>
25 <h3>#samba-technical</h3>
26 <p>This channel is the equivalent of the samba-technical mailinglist.
27 It is used by the developers to discuss Samba internals and development.</p>
29 <p><b>Note</b>: This channel is for discussion about
30 development issues only, not for questions about problems with Samba!</p>
32 <p>Logs for <b>#samba-technical</b> are available at <a href="http://irclog.samba.org/">http://irclog.samba.org/</a>.</p>
34 <p>Freenode has a couple of <a href="http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml">general notes about behaviour in IRC channels</a>.</p>
