IRC
on libera.chat is the around-the-clock for technical questions.


 * State your problem immediately and wait for a response. Don't ask "is there anyone here" or "can someone help me". This is normal IRC etiquette and allows participants to multitask effectively.
 * Expect to wait for some time for an initial response, especially in off-peak times. Despite this, out of courtesy for the volunteer who is helping you, try to answer their questions promptly.

ఒకవేళ మీకు సమాధానం దొరకకపోతే, ఇందులో ఏదో ఒకటి అయ్యి ఉండవచ్చు.


 * Nobody was around at the time of day you chose. If the channel is generally quiet, come back later.
 * మీరడుగుతున్న ప్రశ్నకు సమాధానం ఎవరికి తెలియదు, లేక జవాబివ్వటానికి చాలా కృషి చీయాల్సి ఉంటుంది.
