The IRC channel seems to have fallen into disuse, so this page is moved here to avoid confusion

SCAPE Channels

The following private IRC channels are available for SCAPE users:

#scape-dev (server: eu.chat4all.net)
- Intended for SCAPE developers, in place of the SCAPE Daily Virtual Stand-Up Technical Meeting

How to join a channel using Mibbit

Navigate in your web browser to http://chat.mibbit.com
In the centre of the screen it will ask you to connect, select (in the case of the SCAPE developers channel) the "chat4all [webirc]" server
Put in a nickname of your choice (you can change this later) and enter the channel name, e.g. #scape-dev (don't forget the #)
Click connect and you should be there

(With Mibbit you can also register as a user and store your nickname and channel connections)

IRC Clients

Suggested IRC clients:

Mibbit web app** Browser based IRC client, so suitable if IT block access to the typical IRC ports (something like 6660-6669)
mIRC** Popular, Windows based IRC client

Please feel free to add others.
