4. Hackathon chat (Telegram @wmhack group) - For Hackathon related questions (details)

IRC

#mediawiki ^connect on irc.freenode.net is the around-the-clock IRC real-time chat channel for technical questions.

• State your problem immediately and wait for a response. Don't ask "is there anyone here" or "can someone help me". This is normal IRC etiquette and allows participants to multitask effectively.
• Expect to wait for some time for an initial response, especially in off-peak times. Despite this, out of courtesy for the volunteer who is helping you, try to answer their questions promptly.

If you don't get an answer, this could mean one of a number of things:

• Nobody was around at the time of day you chose. If the channel is generally quiet, come back later.

• You're asking a question which nobody knows the answer to, or which requires a lot of work to answer.

郵件名單

There are several Mailing lists available. The recommended ones are:

• mediawiki-l (或者經Gmane) (或者經你嘅新聞組閱讀器) 係一個高流量問嘢嘅郵件名單。
• wikitech-l (或者經Gmane) (或者經你嘅新聞組閱讀器) 係一個高流量開發統籌嘅郵件名單。
• mediawiki-announce (或者經Gmane) (或者經你嘅新聞組閱讀器) 係一個低流量嘅新MediaWiki發行版同埋保安更新嘅郵件名單 (另外響 mediawiki-l 都會收到呢度嘅訊息)。
• wikitech-ambassadors Announcements about upcoming changes on Wikimedia websites. This list is primarily aimed at end users of Wikimedia wikis, not the MediaWiki software in general.
