-__NOTOC__
-Sugar has a growing community that is ready to help you. Because users and contributors span the globe, a key element to the project is communication.  Mailing lists, forums, IRC , Jabber and email provide quick and easy ways to communicate.
-==Mailing Lists==
+See our [[:Category:Contact]] Contact category page for additional contacts.
-The full list of mailing lists is at '''http://lists.sugarlabs.org'''.  Sometimes they multiply when one isn't watching.
+== Public e-mail contacts ==
-A web-view of mailing lists in a fourm-like interface can be found at [http://n2.nabble.com/SugarLabs-f1511649.html Nabble]. Keep in mind that using Nabble has the following limitations:
+* Project Founder: [[User:Walter|Walter Bender]] <walter AT sugarlabs DOT org>. See also [[Oversight Board]].
-* Nabble does not support posting to more than one mailing list at a time (cross-posting)
-* Nabble does not index all sugar lists
-* The authoritive record is on lists.sugarlabs.org
-===General List===
+* Ombudsman (who will help mediate any disputes): <ombudsman AT sugarlabs DOT org>

+== Mailing Lists ==
+See [[:Mailing Lists]].
-===Starting a new list===
+== IRC ==
-The best way to start a new mailing list is to begin a discussion on a related list that already exists, and once the discussion becomes active, to ask for a separate list for that topic or that sort of traffic.
+See [[:Internet Relay Chat]].
-When you have a critical mass of people regularly talking about the same topic, request a mailing list by emailing the following information to IAEP list:
-# The name you want for your mailing list, with alternative names if the first one is taken
-# A description of the list, its purpose, and why it's needed (being able to say "we've been talking on this other list for a while, and the discussion has grown too big - see these archive links" is helpful)
-# The name/email of the list admin, and of at least one other moderator (minimum one admin and one moderator)
-# At least 10 names/emails of people who want to be the initial subscribers
-== Forums ==
-===Support Forum===

-== IRC Chat ==
+== Jabber Networks ==
-Most SL chat takes place on IRC (that's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC Internet Relay Chat]).  You can either use a computer based client to log in to IRC (like [[olpc:XOirc|XOirc]] or [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]) or (sugarlabs mibbit thingie here).
+Jabber networks may link Sugar users to each other in order to chat, interact and collaborate. There are global Sugar Jabber networks, or regional ones hosted by organizations and individuals around the world. You can choose whichever Jabber network you wish to connect to. Connecting Sugar to one of these networks may greatly enhance your Sugar experience.
-IRC is mainly designed for group communication in discussion 'channels', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well.
+* See [[olpc:Jabber]] and
+* [[olpc:Community Jabber Servers]]
-The SugarLabs Community uses a series of ''channels'' in the '''<tt>irc.freenode.net</tt>''' network. Check {{tl|User irc}} to see how to register your participation in the IRC channels within the wiki, and to find the category where users are registered.
+==Video==
+* We have a [http://www.dailymotion.com/sugarlabs Sugar Labs channel at Dailymotion].
+* [http://www.dailymotion.com/ Dailymotion] also has an OLPC-compatible portal at [http://olpc.dailymotion.com/ olpc.dailymotion.com] with videos encoded with the free OGG Theora/Vorbis codecs, and they have OLPC-relevant content.

-# Another web-based chat for all channels is [http://www.mibbit.com mibbit], with nickname: (whatever you like), server: irc.freenode.net, and channel: #olpc-help (or whatever other channel you're trying to get into).
-# Some helpful resources are [http://www.mirc.com/irc.html here], and [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html this tutorial], which also includes basic commands.
-# Learn about IRC etiquette. Try [http://www.ircbeginner.com/ircinfo/etiquette.html here], [http://www.livinginternet.com/r/ru_chatq.htm here], or [http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/IRC_Etiquette here].
-#* For IRC under sugar, install the latest '''[[olpc:XoIRC|XoIRC]]''' activity.
-# Connect to one of the above channels, and say hello.
-== Jabber Networks ==
-While the OLPC is designed with mesh wireless networking built in (where users can connect to each other without having a central wireless internet router/connection), Sugar users around the world may not be able to connect with others using the platform unless it's through the Internet, since mesh networking relies on a concentration of users (for example, in a classroom, school or business environment).
-Jabber networks link Sugar users to each other in order to chat, interact and collaborate. There are global Sugar Jabber networks, or regional ones hosted by organizations and individuals around the world. You can choose whichever Jabber network you wish to connect to. Connecting Sugar to one of these networks will greatly enhance your Sugar experience.
