 There is one note about scummvm-cvs-logs. Consider it as a read-only list, i.e. if you have comments/questions on someone's commit, post your follow-up to ''scummvm-devel''.
+== IRC ==
+For all kinds of live discussions we use #scummvm @ freenode.net IRC channel. All ScummVM developers get an operator status there, so if you have some questions, talk to them. There are several notes about usage of this medium:
+* IRC is not the best place for informing everyone about some important development conclusions. I.e. when you discussed something and came up with a solution, it's best to e-mail results to ''scummvm-devel''. That is, don't expect everyone in the team to know that you uttered something at #scummvm.
+* All developers who want to get operator status should register with '''''NickServ'''''
+* Most people on FreeNode have so-called anti-spam feature turned on. That is, you will not be able to PM them unless you registered with '''''NickServ'''''
+We have several bots living there:
+* ''LeChuck'' -- our own bot. It's primary usage is infobotting and logs.
+* ''lisppaste'' -- paste bot. It notifies when ScummVM-related pastes are posted [http://paste.lisp.org/new/scummvm here]
+* ''CIA'' -- commit notification bot. It notifies on all commits. Further information could be found on [http://cia.vc/stats/project/ScummVM CIA.vc site]
+* ''cmeme'' -- IRCbrowse log bot. Records logs and keeps them [http://ircbrowse.com/cdates.html?channel=scummvm here]
+IRC logs are stored at:
+* [http://logs.scummvm.org logs.scummvm.org] -- Down when LeChuck is down
+* [http://ircbrowse.com/cdates.html?channel=scummvm IRCbrowse] -- cmeme's logs. Most reliable solution at present time.
