| * For general questions, [[https://forum.xfce.org/|Xfce's Forum]], the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce|Xfce mailing list]], and our IRC channel [[irc://irc.libera.chat/#xfce|#xfce on Libera]] are the places to go. | * For general questions, the [[https://forum.xfce.org/|Xfce's Forum]], the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce|Xfce mailing list]] and our [[https://matrix.to/#/#xfce:matrix.org|Matrix channel #xfce]] are places to go. |

| * For anything code related, go to the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-dev|Xfce-dev mailing list]], or our IRC channel [[irc://irc.libera.chat/#xfce-dev|#xfce-dev on Libera]]. A [[https://web.libera.chat/#xfce-dev|web irc interface]] is also available if you don't have an irc client. | * For anything code related, join our [[https://matrix.to/#/#xfce-dev:matrix.org|Matrix channel #xfce-dev]] or write to the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-dev|Xfce-dev mailing list]]. |
| * [[https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-appservice-irc/latest/usage.html|Matrix]] provides a bridge to the Libera <nowiki>IRC</nowiki> network. So you can connect to [[https://matrix.to/#xfce:libera.chat|#xfce]] and [[https://matrix.to/#/#xfce-dev:libera.chat|#xfce-dev]] with any matrix client <del>and use matrix as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_(software)|bouncer]]</del>. (Using matrix as bouncer does not work that simple any more) Check [[https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/use_matrix|this manual]] to make use of a Frenode registered Nickname via Matrix. | * The [[https://matrix.to/#/#xfce-space:matrix.org|Xfce Matrix space]] gives an overview on all available Xfce related Matrix channels. (not yet supported by all matrix clients) |
| * If you are connecting via Matrix, please dont use Matrix specific things like 'reactions', 'reply', 'delete message' and 'edit message'. While the former will just do nothing for native IRC users. 'edit' might generate an unexpected result. However uploading attachments via Matrix works fine for IRC clients. | * The former communication channels on <nowiki>IRC</nowiki>, [[irc://irc.libera.chat/#xfce|#xfce]] and [[irc://irc.libera.chat/#xfce-dev|#xfce-dev]] on Libera can still be accessed, though they are not officially supported anymore. |
