Main channels
- #wesnoth: This channel is for general conversation amongst Wesnoth players and developers.

International channels
- #wesnoth-de (German channel): The German look-alike of #wesnoth, mainly used by German-speaking players and translators.
You can also see the logs of some official Wesnoth channels.
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.
