The microformats channel is hosted on the freenode.net server.  See [[irc#Joining_a_server_and_channel|Joining a server and channel]] help for further information.

The idea of having IRC meetups (a set time for a meeting on IRC) has been suggested by [[User:RyanKing|Ryan King]], as it appears to work well for the WordPress community and may help us from time-to-time. As of yet, there are no plans to have meetups.

==Bots on IRC==
Car Transport in Delhi@


The IRC channel uses these bots:
http://www.carcarriersgurgaon.com/delhi.html


* [[mfbot]] - logs all edits to this wiki.
Car Transport in Hyderbad@
* [[mflogbot]] - logs the irc channel itself to archives on the web. (Contact: [[User:RobertBachmann|Robert Bachmann]])
* [http://joiwiki.ito.com/joiwiki/index.cgi?jibot jibot]


=== Greeting Bot ===
http://www.carcarriersgurgaon.com/hyderabad.html
 
To display a brief description of who you are each time you join the channel, you can use “JiBot” to create a definition for your username. To do so pass the <tt>?def</tt> command using something like the following convention (be brief):
 
<code>?def jdoe is John Doe and can be found online at <nowiki>http://www.example.com</nowiki></code>
 
More information about using JiBot commands can be found on the [http://joiwiki.ito.com/joiwiki/index.cgi?jibot jibot website]
 
= Getting started with IRC =
 
==Basic commands==
'''Please note:''' These directions relate specifically to the services that [http://freenode.net/ Freenode] offers.  Other IRC servers may differ with the services they offer and how to operate them. 
 
===Joining a server and channel===
Most clients will offer you a connection dialogue showing the required fields for connection.  The details to connect to the server are:
 
*Server: <code>irc.freenode.net</code>
*Port: <code>6667</code> (usually default)
 
You should also fill in any fields to set your alias, real name and email address.  If available, save these settings for later to speed up connecting in future.
 
More on setting a password protected alias can be [[irc#Creating_a_registered_nickname|read here]].
 
Once connected, you will most likely be presented with the "MOTD" (message of the day).  For the first visit, it is advisable to read this to find out about the server's policies and other important pieces of news and help, otherwise it can be ignored and you can either [[irc#Creating_a_registered_nickname|authenticate your alias]] or join a channel.
 
Your client may display to you a listing of all available channels.  Locate <code>#microformats</code> and select to join, or type <code>'''/join #microformats'''</code> into the command line available to you in your client (where you've just been shown your connection).
 
Assuming you've connected correctly, you should now find youself in the microformats channel!
 
More detailed, but general, advice can be [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/irctutorial.html#intro read here].
 
===Creating a registered nickname===
Registration means that a password becomes associated with your alias/nickname/sign-in name and from the point of registration authorisation is required to communicate using that alias.
 
Registration of a nickname is required for some channels, and should be done to protect your identity.
 
To register with [http://freenode.net Freenode], you must communicate with their service known as NickServ.  The two basic command you will need to get started are:
 
For registration: <code>/msg nickserv register ''password''</code>
 
For authentication (login): <code>/msg nickserv identify ''password''</code>
 
With <code>''password''</code> being a value of your choice.  You can also associate an email address with your nickname, which is optional, but advisable, should you want to request a password retrieval:
 
To add your email address: <code>/msg nickserv set email ''email''</code>
 
Where <code>''email''</code> is your email address.
 
Your client may offer you an option to set your alias and password, so that you will not have to manually enter this information on each join.  Refer to your client's help files for more on this.
 
These commands can be typed directly into the server window upon join, or whilst in a channel, just as you would normally send a message.
 
More detailed user registration command information can be found in [http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration Freenode's FAQ]
 
===Communicating===
 
Sending a message to a channel may be as simple as joining the channel and typing into the window, just as you would with an Instant Messenger.  You can refer to your client's help files for quicker/alternative methods of doing the following.  For all clients the following commands are available (the parts in bold must be used, but are not seen by others):
 
'''Sending a message to the entire channel you are currently in:'''
 
Command: '''/msg''' ''Hello world!''
 
Result: '''<Bill> Hello world!'''
 
'''Sending an action/emotive/3rd person statement:'''
 
Command: <code>'''/me''' ''dances a code jig''</code>
 
Result: '''''Bill dances a code jig'''''
 
'''Sending a message to one person only (private chat):'''
 
Command: <code>'''/msg Bob''' ''Hi, would you like to code jig?''</code>
 
Result (for Bob only): '''<Bill> Hi, would you like to code jig?'''
