Vim Chat/Talk

Let's Talk about VIM! :-)

IRC #vim

Some of us are using the chat system "Internet Relay Chat" (IRC) to talk about Vim. There are different "nets", though. We usually meet on IRCnet on channel #vim.

I connect via the server irc.fu-berlin.de - but you cannot join this server from everywhere, so you should try to connect to one of the servers listed below.

Please note that you will find yourself in *one* of the various IRC networks. So even though you are on channel #vim on your net you might not meet others on #vim as they could be using this channel on another network.

If you do not have an IRC client yet then I suggest you get mIRC (for Windows) or epic for Unixish systems.

I definitely prefer using a proper IRC client - but please give the following web based chat a try if you have no alternative.

Note: The service is given by chatset.web.de - a site in Germany. Therefore the descriptions of this service are in German. However, if you have used IRC before then you will probably know all the basic commands, anyway.

I am looking forward to your feedback - thanks! :-)

Status: Experimental!

Right now [000228] the server seems to be flakey - so let's see if this works out. If no then I'll try some other talk service...

NOTE: The service is run in Germany - so all the help is in German. But I am sure that Vim users are smart enough to understand it right away. :-)
