Communication Channels
----------------------
Most communication about Bitcoin Core development happens on IRC, in the
#bitcoin-core-dev channel on Freenode. The easiest way to participate on IRC is
with the web client, [webchat.freenode.net](https://webchat.freenode.net/). Chat
history logs can be found
on [botbot.me](https://botbot.me/freenode/bitcoin-core-dev/).
Discussion about code base improvements happens in GitHub issues and on pull
requests.
The developer
[mailing list](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev)
should be used to discuss complicated or controversial changes before working on
a patch set.
