== IRC ==
The '''IRC''' activity allows you to chat with other Sugar/OLPC users and enthusiasts on the Internet via [[wikipedia:Internet Relay Chat|Internet Relay Chat]] (IRC).
 
  
The activity defaults to a "channel" (akin to a "room") called #sugar on the [http://www.freenode.org/ Freenode] network, but you can join one of the many channels available by typing <tt>/join <b>#channel</b></tt>, where <b>#channel</b> is the channel name. Like many Free/Open Source projects, [[Sugar]] developers frequent this channel, and are happy to help with any Sugar questions and suggestions you may have.

===IRC Commands===
 
The following commands can be typed into the input box, all preceded by a slash ('''/'''):
 
*<tt>/join <b>#channel</b></tt> - join a channel
 
*<tt>/server <b>irc.example.org</b></tt> - connect to a different network
 
*<tt>/query <b>user</b></tt> - open up a private chat window with another user
 
*<tt>/msg <b>user</b> <b>message</b></tt> - privately message another user without opening a new window
 
*<tt>/nick <b>new_name</b></tt> - change your nickname away from the default
 
 
 
Many other commands are available, and you can create and administer your own channels as well: see the [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/altircfaq.html IRC FAQ] for more information.
 
 
 
==Development==
 
The activity was originally developed under the name '''XoIRC''' in 2007 by [http://edsiper.linuxchile.cl Eduardo Silva]. It was migrated to Sugar Labs Git/Trac in 2009 and maintained until 2010 by [[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]]. [[User:Fran Rogers|Fran Rogers]] is the current maintainer.
 
 
 
Internally, the activity is built around an all-Python IRC client, [http://urk.sourceforge.net/ Urk] (no longer maintained since 2007). The license is [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html GPL2+].
