Note that if you go to IRC to ask a question, it might take a while to get a reply. It can pay off to stick around for a couple of hours or more.
 
If you want to run a bot, let us know. If they are useful, e.g. providing logging facilities, then they are more than welcome.

== Getting Started with IRC ==
 
The simplest way to get started with IRC, if you are not familiar, is by signing up for a free [https://www.irccloud.com/ IRCCloud] account. Once you've done that, you should be logged in to the Freenode server by default. All you'll have to do is join the #whatwg channel. If you tell your browser to use IRCCloud for irc:// links, then just [irc://irc.freenode.net/whatwg clicking this link] should also take you there.
