+ <title>Ask for help</title>
+
+ <p>Should you face any issues when trying to develop for <app>GNOME</app>, there are ample official
channels to ask for help. <app>GNOME</app> runs a Internet Relay Chat network and several project-specific,
topic-specific and miscellaneous mailing lists which are subscribed to by developers, maintainers and users
of the project.</p>

+ <title>irc.gnome.org</title>
+ <p>Most <app>GNOME</app> projects have an IRC channel by their name. For example, if you want to ask a
<app>Epiphany</app> specific question, the channel would be <em>#epiphany</em>. Browse the list of IRC
channels on the <link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC#List_of_IRC_Channels">wiki
page</link>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title>Mailing lists</title>
+ <p><app>GNOME</app> users logged in on IRC channels are often geographically spread out which means
they are in different timezones making their availability to answer questions sparse if you are in a
different timezone from them. If you have not been able to resolve your queries or do not like to wait on IRC
channels, then approach a project or topic-specific mailing list. You browse a full list of the mailing lists
on the <link href="https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo">wiki page</link>.</p>
