<P>The PostgreSQL community provides assistance to many of its users |
|
|
|
|
via email. The main web site to subscribe to the email lists is |
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/"> |
|
|
|
|
http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/</a>. The <I>general</I> |
|
|
|
|
or <I>bugs</I> lists are a good place to start. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The major IRC channel is <I>#postgresql</I> on Freenode |
|
|
|
|
(<I>irc.freenode.net</I>). To connect you can use the Unix |
|
|
|
|
command <CODE>irc -c '#postgresql' "$USER" irc.freenode.net</CODE> |
|
|
|
|
program <CODE>irc -c '#postgresql' "$USER" irc.freenode.net</CODE> |
|
|
|
|
or use any of the other popular IRC clients. A Spanish one also exists |
|
|
|
|
on the same network, (<I>#postgresql-es</I>), and a French one, |
|
|
|
|
(<I>#postgresqlfr</I>). There is also a PostgreSQL channel on EFNet. |
