IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. We use it for real-time internet text messaging related to the project.
All the engaged people from the community and the dev team can be found there, and are usually quick to answer during European day/evening time.
Software
In order to use IRC, you should download a client program. Popular programs are:
- Leafchat
- irssi
- X-Chat (free on Linux only, almost always available in distribution repositories)
- HexChat (fork of X-Chat, free on Windows and Linux, not always available in distribution repositories)
You can also use webchat in your browser (type message at bottom, where text indicates).
Channels
As of 2021-05-26, Pioneer has moved to the libera.chat IRC network, which can be connected to at irc.libera.chat, port 6667 (6697 for SSL).
We use the following channel:
#pioneer -This is the only and official pioneer channel
No Freenode?
Pioneer's IRC channel was on the freenode network at least from 2013-2021. However, in May of 2021, there was a hostile take over of the freenode network, and we joined the original freenode staff, and most other channels, in moving to its spiritual successor: libera.chat.
