If you use IRC, consider joining the channels.
You will be asked to create a [https://element.io/ Element] account if you don't have one yet.


If you don't use IRC ''directly'', you can still join our chat channels from your web browser via a [https://matrix.org/ Matrix] bridge by clicking on the channel names in the list above. You will be asked to create a [https://element.io/ Element] account if you don't have one yet.

== IRC authentication ==
 
<b>Libera.chat defaults to blocking private messages from unauthentified users! All users should register their nicknames to be able to message one another privately, by following the instructions below.</b> If you're really unable to register, you should ask your correspondent to [https://libera.chat/guides/usermodes consider setting usermode <tt>-R</tt>, and <tt>+g</tt>]
 
To register an account with NickServ, please follow [https://libera.chat/guides/registration the registration instructions provided by libera.chat staff].
 
You will then receive an e-mail containing a link to activate you account. After doing so, you need to configure your client to auto-authenticate. The recommended way of doing that is using [https://libera.chat/guides/sasl SASL authentication].
 
For matrix, the relevant docs is here: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#how-do-i-registeridentify-to-nickserv
 
libera.chat also supports authentication via [https://libera.chat/guides/certfp TLS client certificates (using SASL EXTERNAL)].
 
=== Matrix bridge ===
 
For registering an account through the Matrix bridge ([https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#how-do-i-registeridentify-to-nickserv relevant docs here]), please follow these instructions:
 
1. Choose a short nickname (the default nickname picked by the matrix bridge has a [m] and can be quite long, as it defaults to your Matrix display name (minus non-ASCII non-alphanumerical characters)
 
/msg @appservice:libera.chat !nick <USERNAME>
 
2. Send this command to NickServ to register your account:
 
/msg @NickServ:libera.chat register <PASSWORD> <EMAIL>
 
3. Once you receive the confirmation email with a token, activate your account by using:
 
/msg @NickServ:libera.chat VERIFY REGISTER <USERNAME> <TOKEN RECEIVED BY EMAIL>
 
4. Give the Matrix bridge appservice your password so that you get identified automatically when matrix reconnects you to IRC:
 
/msg @appservice:libera.chat !username <USERNAME>
/msg @appservice:libera.chat !storepass <PASSWORD>
 
== IRC access list ==
 
To auto-voice people with a registered nick (only doable by people with +fA access modes will be able to do it), add them to the team channel access list:
 
/msg chanserv flags #swh-team add <nickname> Staff
 
Other channels pick their ACLs from that of the #swh-team channel.
 
If you already have the right (+o ChanServ flag), you can make yourself an operator, with:
 
/msg chanserv OP #swh-devel
