    * For any translation stuff, join the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-i18n|Xfce-i18n mailing list]].
-   * For anything code related, go to the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-dev|Xfce-dev mailing list]] or visit our [[https://matrix.to/xfce-dev#/#xfce-dev:matrix.org|Matrix channel #xfce-dev]] (There is as well the old IRC channel [[irc://irc.libera.chat/#xfce-dev|#xfce-dev on Libera]], though the core devs meanwhile idle on matrix)
+   * 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]].
-   * If you are connecting to IRC 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 [[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)

 All Xfce developers have a real life and live across multiple time zones. If you don't get an answer straight away, be patient and stay online!
