<h3>Access free documentation</h3>
14
<p>If you are stuck on a problem, someone else has probably encountered it too. Take a look at the <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com/">official documentation</a> developed and maintained by the Ubuntu Documentation Team.</p>
16
<h3>Live support chat</h3>
17
<p>If you would rather ask questions directly to the Ubuntu Community, you can <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat">access our Internet relay chat (IRC) channel</a>. Simply join the #ubuntu channel on irc.freenode.net.</p>
18
<p>If you are new to Ubuntu, and have not used IRC before, you can use the application '<em>pidgin</em>' (or on some versions of Ubuntu '<em>gaim</em>') from the Applications->Internet menu on your Ubuntu desktop. Then login to irc.freenode.net and join the #ubuntu channel.</p>
19
<p>If you want a more specialised channel that deals with Ubuntu derivatives, you can join <strong>#kubuntu</strong>, <strong>#edubuntu</strong>, <strong>#xubuntu</strong>.</p>
20
<p>There are also dedicated channels for development, bugs, local community (LoCo) teams, accessibility and documentation.</p>
21
<p>Take a look at a list of our <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InternetRelayChat">current IRC channels</a></p>
22
<p>When participating in Ubuntu IRC channels, please follow the <a href="/about/about-ubuntu/conduct">Code of Conduct</a>.</p>
25
<p>If you prefer to use web forums, rather than mailing lists, especially for support-related issues, you can use or search the <a href="/support/community/web-forums">Ubuntu forums</a>. There are also <a href="/support/community/local-language">local language forums</a> available.</p>
27
<h3>Mailing lists</h3>
28
<p>Ubuntu development, support and discussions continually take place within our IRC channels and mailing lists. To join a <a href="/support/community/mailing-lists">mailing list</a> simply click on the mailing list you wish to join for further instructions.</p>
