IRC
Internet Relay Chat is one of the best ways to interact with the Mercurial community. We can be found in the channel #mercurial on irc.freenode.net.
1. Etiquette
The Mercurial channel usually has a couple hundred people in it, so to help things go smoothly, we ask that you:
- Don't ask if you can ask a question - just ask!
- If you want help with a bug, please be responsive to developer questions
- Don't make demands of developers - they're under no obligation to help anyone
- Don't be rude to other Mercurial users
- We're not fluent in all SCMs, don't assume we know what a "git foo-bar" is
- Try to avoid prolonged digressions about things other than Mercurial
Use http://paste.lisp.org/new/mercurial to share tracebacks, etc. (or http://paste.pocoo.org)
Please read suggestions on giving advice
