Using IRC

As part of our project we are using IRC, (Internet Relay Chat). IRC is an instant messaging system that has a Spree channel, where people working on the Spree open source project can go and talk to each other.

To use IRC you can download a desktop application or you can go to Freenode, our username is spree-girls, and some of the simple commands we might use are:

• /join spree – to go to the Spree channel
• /msg username message – to message a particular user privately
• /notice username message – to message a particular user publicly
• /help – obviously for help
