Sugar Labs no longer uses IRC as the primary mode of communication. [[Matrix]] is the preferred mode of communication. Nevertheless, the matrix and IRC channels are bridged using [https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc Matrix Appservice IRC]. IRC channel only exists for backward compatibility. | |||
* The [[Activities/IRC|'''IRC activity''']] allows access to IRC from within the Sugar environment. | |||
* You can use a computer-based client to log in to IRC, such as [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin] or [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]. This link should work for such clients: irc://irc.libera.chat#sugar | |||
* Or, use a browser add-on, such as [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/circ/bebigdkelppomhhjaaianniiifjbgocn?hl=en-US CIRC] (for Chrome). Current versions of Firefox are no longer compatible with add-ons, so ChatZilla will only work if you are using a sufficiently older version of Firefox. | |||
