Most Sugar Labs chat takes place on IRC (see [[wikipedia:IRC|Internet Relay Chat]]). You can either use a computer-based client to log in to IRC (such as [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4029 Sugar IRC activity], [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin], [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]) or this web browser-based service provided by Mibbit to [http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=eca51beb20994623b5ce425dacc8511f&server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23sugar&noServerNotices=true&noServerMotd=true&autoConnect=true chat online here]. It even includes in-line '''language translation''', if needed.

IRC is mainly designed for group communication in discussion 'channels', but allows for personal chat and data transfer as well.
