+!! irc://freenode.net/#bitweaver
 Most of the Bitweaver developers hang out on the __#bitweaver__ IRC channel on __irc.freenode.net__. You are welcome to join! It's an easy way to get answers, easier even than posting to the forum.
 
 In #bitweaver (the channel), [http://cia.vc/stats/project/bitweaver|a bot] reports on the progress of Bitweaver's code in real time. This makes the channel a tool for collaborative development, but also for debugging. If you have something to discuss, join #bitweaver.
