We use IRC for much of our communication. Unfortunate, Freenode, our IRC server, has been under attack by trolls of late, so we have had to lock down our channels. Therefore, you'll need to create a "registered account" to login. (You can use an IRC client or open https://webchat.freenode.net in a browser.)
# /join #pidora    (pidora allows commands and name ((nick)) changes)
+
 
 +
To register on Freenode:
 +
 
 +
/msg NickServ REGISTER password youremail@example.com
 +
 
 +
(Filling in your email and password)
 +
 
 +
Leave the window open if possible.
 +
 
 +
You will get an email that includes a command you'll need to type in to complete your registration. (It may take a while for the email to arrive.)
 +
 
 +
Go back to the open IRC window and paste in the verification line from the email you received in the bottom space.
 +
 
 +
If you have closed the IRC window, you will need to reopen it.
 +
 
 +
Once you are registered, you may join the #sugar channel:
 +
 
 +
/join #sugar
