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.

All of the following channels are hosted at the Libera.Chat IRC network unless otherwise noted. If you don't have an IRC client installed on your machine or are behind a firewall that blocks ports 6667, 6697, and other supported ports, you can use Libera.Chat's web client instead.

Main channels

• #wesnoth: This channel is for general conversation amongst Wesnoth players and developers.
• #wesnoth-umc-dev: The channel for questions and conversations related to Wesnoth content development, including WML and Lua coding.
• #wesnoth-offtopic: The social and off-topic channel for miscellaneous talk and discussion of subjects not directly related to Wesnoth.
• #wesnoth-dev: The development discussion channel. Most contributors and developers (WML, C++ and art people alike) hang around here, exchanging ideas and code patches.

International channels

• #wesnoth-de (German channel): The German look-alike of #wesnoth, mainly used by German-speaking 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 echoed in this list for those who want or need to keep track of them. This list is currently unused.
• i18n (archives): the internationalization (i18n) mailing list; all translation team maintainers and the i18n managers should subscribe and keep track of announcements and discussions taking place in this list.
