You'll need a [client] to join the rooms, such as [freenode's web client].

Here are some guidelines for the channels:

• Try to remain on-topic.

• Read the [Lua manual], the [book], and the LuaFaq before asking questions.
• Learn [how to ask a question] and [how to ask questions the smart way].
• You will get more answers if you ask in English, but there are usually speakers of Spanish and Portuguese, and often of other languages.
• Learn [how to report a bug].

• Don't ask if you can ask a question — just ask it.
• Don't ask if anyone can help — just ask.
• Don't ask if anyone knows about something — just ask.

• Don't private message.
• Don't post code to IRC; use pastebins like: http://lua.pastey.net/ http://lua.pastebin.com/ http://codepad.org

In short, learn [how to get useful help on IRC].
