Project volunteers are using Internet Relay Chat (IRC) to communicate and collaborate in real time. Volunteers welcome. To use the chat, you can use a web-based system or download an IRC client program:

• Web Interface: http://irc.rhok.net (<-- just click there to join chat, Flash required)
• Recommended clients: Colloquy or X-Chat Aqua (Mac), mIRC (Windows), xchat2 (X Windows/Linux), Chatzilla FireFox addon
  • Server: irc.rhok.net (standard ports) or 72.14.187.155 (if DNS is failing)
• Channels:
  • #crisiscommons -- default channel, for general chat
  • #crisiscampleads -- for discussion among CrisisCamp city leads
• Project channels:
  • #ccrssa -- for RSS feed aggregator project for the UN
  • #crisiswiki -- for the CrisisWiki project, out of NPR and Andy Carvin
