Line 1:
<big>'''Rosetta Code hasDOES NOT have a presence on IRC. IRC help is deprecated in favor of the slack workspace since Freenode's takeover and subsequent implosion.'''</big>
 
Point your favorite IRC client to <tt>irc.freenode.net</tt>, and join #rosettacode. Mind you, there may not be anyone active. But if you stick around long enough, someone will respond.
Line 5:
==IRC clients==
You'll need to use an IRC client to connect to the IRC server.
 
===Web Browser===
You can visit Rosetta Code's IRC channel via your web browser on the [[Special:WebChat]] page.
 
===Linux===
* [http://www.xchat.org/ XChat] should come with your distribution
===Unix===
* [http://www.irssi.org/ irssi]
===Windows===
* [http://www.mirc.com/get.html mIRC] is a popular Windows IRC client.
* Another choice is [http://silverex.info SilverEx XChat], a free windows build of XChat.
===Windows and Linux===
* [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin/Finch] works with other chat protocols as well as IRC.
===Mac===
* [http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy]
 
==Logging==
Logging is stalled and has been for some time. Anyone who feels like making a logging bot should talk to people (especially Short Circuit) in the IRC channel. A complete listing of logs of the channel are available on request.
There's no logging bot, currently. (Though it would be nice to change that...)
 
==Evaluators==
 
We have some evaluator bots for the languages on Rosetta Code. Here's how to invoke each one in the channel:
 
{|
! Language !! Prefix !! Bot
|-
| [[E]] || “<code>eel: </code>” || eel
|-
| [[Haskell]] || “<code>&gt; </code>” || lambdabot
|}
