+<h2>Users Mailing List</h2>
 <p>
 The Einstein Toolkit Consortium is aiming to cultivate a self-supporting and open community and we encourage you to write to the <a href="mailto:users at einsteintoolkit.org">users at einsteintoolkit.org</a> 
 mail list with your questions about the use of the toolkit.
 </p>
+<h2>IRC</h2>
+<p>
+Another way to get support maybe even faster and more interactively is
+IRC. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat"
+>Internet Relay Chat</a> (IRC) is a form of real-time
+Internet text messaging, mainly centered about group communication
+in discussion forums, called channels.
+</p>
+<p>
+Cactus and the Einstein Toolkit at the moment share one such channel for
+discussions among developers: <code>#cactus</code> on
+<code>irc.oftc.net</code>, the IRC server of the
+<a href="http://www.oftc.net/oftc/">Open and Free Technology Community</a>
+(OFTC). <a href="https://svn.cactuscode.org/irc-logs/">Chat logs and statistics"</a>
+are available.
+</p>
+<p>
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients"
+>IRC Clients</a> are available for virtually every operating system.
