Hi,<br>IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It is very much similar to the group chat used in gmail and facebook with the difference that we use the concept of nicknames. You need to use a unique nickname for participating in the irc, it is better to register your nickname, so that nobody else can have the same nickname and also having a fixed nickname helps to identify people more clearly with whom we are talking. <br>
<br>You can find more info on irc here : <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat</a><br><br>You can use chatzilla if you are using firefox. Chatzilla is an add-on in firefox to facilitate irc. <br>

</div>Don't bother with trying to satisfy everyone's "convenience", you'll just<br>
waste a few days and a few dozen useless mails. Just choose a sensible time<br>
when everyone is mostly free and at home.(say Saturday post-dinner for<br>
example.)<br>
<br>
It's best to make the irc meetings a regular affair at a fixed time. So<br>
people know that the meetings take place at a particular<br>
time/day-of-the-week.<br>
<br>
Given sufficient notice, people who are genuinely interested can definitely<br>
make time, if they are too busy to be able to do that, they probably don't<br>
have the time to contribute either. (And irrespective of what time you<br>
choose, it'll always be inconvenient/impossible for someone or the other.)<br>
<br>
All the best.<br>
