@jd:body
<p>In addition to the <a href="community-groups.html">Android developer groups</a>, you can also participate in the Android developer community through IRC, and you can also follow us on Twitter. </p>
<h3 id="irc">IRC</h3>
<p>Several IRC channels are available for discussions about developing Android applications.</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Channel</th><th>Host</th><th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>#android</td>
<td>irc.freenode.net</td>
<td>General discussion about Android (and Android development).</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>#android-dev</td>
<td>irc.freenode.net</td>
<td>Discussion focused on developing Android apps.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>If you haven't used IRC before, check <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_clients">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IRC_clients »</a> for a helpful list of IRC clients. Alternatively, you could also use this <a href="http://java.freenode.net/index.php?channel=android-dev">web interface »</a>, which does not require any installation, to join discussions on the Android IRC channels. </p>
<p>Here are some tips for using IRC:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Set your nickname before you join the channel.</li>
<li>Registering your nickname prevents others from using your nickname or impersonating you later:
<pre>/nick <yournickname>
/msg nickserv register <password> <email></code></pre>
<p>Afterwards, when you connect, you'll need to supply a password:</p>
<pre>/connect irc.freenode.net
/nick <yournickname>
/msg nickserv identify <password>
/join #android-dev</pre>
</li>
</ul>
