+<p><a href="http://www.irchelp.org/">IRC (Internet Relay Chat)</a> is a way
+to chat with people from all over the world in real time.
+IRC channels dedicated to Debian can be found on
+<a href="https://www.oftc.net/">OFTC</a>.</p>
+
+<p>To connect, you need an IRC client. Some of the most popular clients are
+<a href="https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/hexchat">HexChat</a>,
+<a href="https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/ircii">ircII</a>,
+<a href="https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/irssi">irssi</a>,
+<a href="https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/epic5">epic5</a> and
+<a href="https://packages.debian.org/stable/net/kvirc">KVIrc</a>,
+all of which have been packaged for
+Debian. OFTC also offers a <a href="https://www.oftc.net/WebChat/">WebChat</a>
+web interface which allows you to connect to IRC with a browser without
+the need to install any local client.</p>
+
+<p>Once you have the client installed, you need to tell it to connect
+to the server. In most clients, you can do that by typing:</p>
+
+<pre>
+/server irc.debian.org
+</pre>
+
+<p>In some clients (such as irssi) you will need to type this instead:</p>
+
+<pre>
+/connect irc.debian.org
+</pre>
+
+# Note to translators:
+# You might want to insert here a paragraph stating which IRC channel is available
+# for user support in your language and pointing to the English IRC channel.
+# <p>Once you are connected, join channel <code>#debian-foo</code> by typing</p>
+# <pre>/join #debian</pre>
+# for support in your language.
+# <p>For support in English, read on</p>
+
+<p>Once you are connected, join channel <code>#debian</code> by typing</p>
+
+<pre>
+/join #debian
+</pre>
+
+<p>Note: clients like HexChat often have a different, graphical user interface
+for joining servers/channels.</p>
+
+<p>At this point you will find yourself among the friendly crowd of
+<code>#debian</code> inhabitants. You're welcome to ask questions about
+Debian there. You can find the channel's faq at
+<url "https://wiki.debian.org/DebianIRC" />.</p>
