MusicBrainz uses two IRC channels for real-time chat and discussions. For more information about IRC in general, see the [[Wikipedia:Internet Relay Chat|Wikipedia article]]. If you don't have an [[Wikipedia:Internet_Relay_Chat#Clients|IRC client]] (such as [[Wikipedia::MIRC|mIRC]] or [[Wikipedia:Colloquy_(IRC_client)|Colloquy]]), Freenode provide a [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=musicbrainz web-based client].

Please note that all users of the IRC channel are expected to follow the [[Code Of Conduct]].

==Channels==

The main channel is [irc://irc.freenode.net/musicbrainz #musicbrainz] on irc.freenode.net

Among the [[IRC Regulars|regulars]] in this channel are quite a few of the [[MusicBrainz_Bio|developers]] as well as some of the [[Auto-Editor|auto-editors]] and other active MusicBrainz users. Anything related to MusicBrainz, including [[MusicBrainz_Picard|Picard]] and other [[Products|products]], is welcome here. References to IRC in MusicBrainz generally refer to this channel. As in many communities, the regulars in the channel have their own [[MusicBrainz Slang|slang]].

* [http://chatlogs.musicbrainz.org/musicbrainz/today Today's chat log]
* [http://chatlogs.musicbrainz.org/musicbrainz/yesterday Yesterday's chat log]

The development channel is [irc://irc.freenode.net/musicbrainz-devel #musicbrainz-devel] on irc.freenode.net

There is a weekly [[Development Chat|dev chat]] held in this channel. A reminder is normally sent out to the [[Developers Mailing List|developers mailing list]] Sunday night/Monday morning.

At other times, this channel is normally used for discussions between the developers, particularly when the main channel is busy.

==MBChatLogger==

MBChatLogger is a bot which logs all conversion in the MusicBrainz IRC channels. You can see all of the chat log archives at http://chatlogs.musicbrainz.org/.

===Commands===

* <code>MBChatLogger: off</code> - this turns logging off until MBChatLogger is told to begin logging again
* <code>MBChatLogger: on</code> - this turns logging on after MBChatLogger has been told to stop logging

MBChatLogger also responds to a small handful of random phrases but you'll just have to check out #musicbrainz to find out what those phrases are.
