I have seen dozens of request for help from facebook groups, telegram group, IRC channels for other software (#freecad, #slic3r etc.) but there is no central point for helping cura users.\r\n\r\nFreeNode is a traditional IRC messaging network where people gather to discuss development of open-source projects and help people. They have an explicit policy of partnership with open-source projects like cura, and unofficial channels start with ## while official channel have a single # on its name.\r\n\r\nThe #cura channel has its name reserved by freenode staff, being so important a project:\r\n```\r\n[07:39] [ptl<+Zi>] [1:freenode ] [Act: 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,17]                       \r\n[(status)] /chanserv info #cura\r\n07:32 -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- Information on #cura:\r\n07:32 -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- Founder    : freenode-staff\r\n07:32 -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- Registered : Nov 29 19:13:45 2006 (10y 4w 4d ago)\r\n07:32 -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- Last used  : Dec 11 08:21:57 2006 (10y 3w 0d ago)\r\n07:32 -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- Mode lock  : +ns-t\r\n07:32 -ChanServ(ChanServ@services.)- *** End of Info ***\r\n```\r\n\r\nThe FreeNode policy for official channels and groups is there: http://freenode.net/groupreg\r\n\r\nMy suggestion is that we get official word from this group - maybe from some very active members which are already on freenode like @Ghostkeeper and @thopiekar - and get the #cura channel officially registered and populated. I am no active member, but I would love to collaborate and stay there to discuss issues and help people -- and of course, try and get other people to help. I think the public would rapidly increase due to interest of cura. This would require changing the README.md to inform people about this way of getting support and help.\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/comments/346625291","html_url":"https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/1277#issuecomment-346625291","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/1277","id":346625291,"user":{"login":"Ghostkeeper","id":2448634,"avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/2448634?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper","html_url":"https://github.com/Ghostkeeper","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ghostkeeper/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-11-23T13:58:14Z","updated_at":"2017-11-23T13:58:14Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"I've documented the channel in the README file."}}
