=== IRC ===
* IRC is a just a standard for passing text messages back and forth between a group of people
* In order to talk with the scummvm devs on IRC you need a client (See below for our favorites)
* Once you have a client you'll need to connect to the freenode server
** How you do this depends on your client
* Then join the scummvm channel
** Just type: /join #scummvm
** It's that easy!!
