[Rwp] IRC channel for RWP is up, feel free to join

[Hadi]

Hi Guys
The IRC channel is up and running. Please feel free to join and 
participate. All discussions regarding accessibility of music production 
tools is welcomed! I will be in the channel when I'm not sleeping and 
will help you with things that I'm able to; I'm sure other experienced 
users will join in as well. Enjoy your stay.
Connection info, for advanced irc users:
server: irc.rizon.net
Channel: #RWP
For windows and using NVDA, Instantbird client is highly recommended!
All sorts of clients with their related links are posted below. I will 
post another mail containing a beginner friendly tutorial about how to 
join and work with Instantbird.


Web clients, (Not recommended since you gotta keep the tab open in taskbar):
Kiwi web client
https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.rizon.net/
Rizon's own web client
https://qchat.rizon.net/

Windows clients:
Instantbird (Direct link to latest build, highly recommended, accessible 
to NVDA and JAWS)
http://ftp.instantbird.com/instantbird/nightly/latest-trunk/instantbird-1.6a1pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe
(don't search for a 64bit version  ---IT does not exist)
Quick tip for instantbird: When you press alt+f4 in instantbird client 
window, the client will go into system trey, and will not intervene in 
your alt-tabbing process. You'll be still connected, just open the 
client from desktop again.
Miranda-ng client for windows
http://www.miranda-ng.org/en/

Mac OSX:
Instantbird (Direct link, not tested)
http://ftp.instantbird.com/instantbird/nightly/latest-trunk/instantbird-1.6a1pre.en-US.mac.dmg
Adium (I've not tested it personally)
https://adium.im/
colloquy (Might be accessible)
http://colloquy.info/
