     27 <p>If you haven't used IRC before, check <a

     29 List_of_IRC_clients &raquo;</a> for a helpful list of IRC clients. Alternatively, you could also use
     30 this <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=android-dev">web interface &raquo;</a>, which
     31 does not require any installation, to join discussions on the Android IRC channels.  </p>

     33 <p>Here are some tips for using IRC:</h4>
     34 
     35 <ul>
     36 <li>Set your nickname before you join the channel.</li>
     37 <li>Registering your nickname prevents others from using your nickname or impersonating you later:
     38 <pre class="no-pretty-print" style="width:50%;">/nick &lt;yournickname&gt;
     39 /msg nickserv register &lt;password&gt; &lt;email&gt;</pre>
     40 <p>Afterwards, when you connect, you'll need to supply a password:</p>
     41 <pre class="no-pretty-print" style="width:50%;">/connect irc.freenode.net
     42 /nick &lt;yournickname&gt;
     43 /msg nickserv identify &lt;password&gt;
     44 /join #android-dev</pre>
     45 </li>
     46 </ul>
