For real-time chat with other Wikiversity users, in addition to live recent changes (find out more), several Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels are located on the freenode network (website):

[edit] IRC client software

To Chat on IRC, you will need some type of IRC client. See the Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clients at Wikipedia.

[edit] Web based versions

For web-based access to the IRC channels, you may use the CGI IRC platform at Wikizine. There is also the ChatZilla extension for Mozilla.

Mibbit is also a free web-based irc client.

If you have Java, you can try the Freenode Java client. (Can be slow on older machines)

[edit] Freenode IRC Network

Freenode hosts several Wikimedia channels:

#wikiversity (interlingual hub channel):

Sister projects:

In addition to the above channels, other Wikimedia projects have channels at Freenode. For example, Wikinews uses #wikinews and of course #wikipedia.

Important: It should be noted by all users that all official Wikimedia channels now prohibit the publishing of chat logs publicly; although there are exceptions - see meta:IRC channels for more details.

[edit] Wikimedia IRC channels

For keeping track of recent changes, about 500 channels are available on irc.wikimedia.org. These channels are "read only" in most cases. (You can't actually "chat" there). see Recent changes channels for further details.

[edit] Netiquette

Much has been said about how to behave in chatrooms. See Netiquette and IRC guidelines.
