Discord
Wesnoth maintains a presence on Discord through its own official Discord server. Several channels are bridged to IRC in order to allow Discord and IRC users to interact with each other.
IRC
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a time-tested communications system that offers greater flexibility and extensibility than modern chat platforms. For more information, check out Wikipedia's article and IRCHelp.org.
Unless otherwise noted, all channels are hosted at the Libera.Chat IRC network. If you don't have an IRC client installed or your firewall blocks ports 6667, 6697, and other supported ports, you can use Libera.Chat's web client instead.
Main channels

The development discussion channel. Most contributors and developers (including artists, WML/Lua and C++ coders, and Wesnoth.org staff) hang around here, exchanging ideas and patches.
International channels
- #wesnoth-de
The German language channel, used mainly by players and translators.
Note: Public conversations on official Wesnoth channels are logged at irclogs.wesnoth.org. This includes messages sent to IRC through the Discord bridge.
Mailing Lists
- Dev (archives)
The mailing list for discussing mainline development issues; it is not intended for bug reports or feature requests. See ReportingBugs for those. - Commits (archives)
All commits made to the mainline source repository are automatically posted to this list for those who want or need to keep track of them. - i18n (archives)
