Please don't add the IRC link to the devguide. Based on conversations with Guido, he is against it being part of the core development process. Raymond On Jul 21, 2011, at 4:08 AM, Nick Coghlan wrote:

FWIW you can make #python a link using either irc://chat.freenode.net/python (this will open the default IRC app, and I think Firefox even ask if you want to use a webchat) or http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=python (for the freenode webchat). If you are going to do it, it might be worth mentioning that the channel requires registration.

I agree with Victor that the network (Freenode or irc.freenode.net) should be specified. Also the #python-dev channel should be mentioned (it doesn't require registration, so links are fine here).

If someone more knowledgeable on IRC matters than me could either commit a fix directly to the devguide repo or else put a patch on the tracker, that would be great.

Cheers, Nick.
