Due to popular demand, I have added instructions on how to get started on 
IRC. If you go to the conferences home page now...

http://native-lang.openoffice.org/conference/

You will see a link to instructions on how to get started with IRC:

http://native-lang.openoffice.org/conference/get-started.html

There are many IRC clients. For these instructions I chose Gaim because:

 * It's probably the easiest to use.
 * Gaim is cross-platform (it even runs on Solaris!).
 * It's very mature.
 * Gaim looks beautiful!  :-)
 * It also understands many other protocols, like AIM, ICQ, MSN and 
   Jabber. So you can just learn one program and use it for everything.
 * For the security conscious, Gaim also has an OTR plugin:

I would be happy to post either translations of this mini tutorial, or 
alternate tutorials using different IRC clients.

Cheers,
