You can contact the ick project via email or IRC. For email, there are
two mailing lists:

* [ick-discuss][] for all project discussions. If you have questions
  or problems, send mail to this address. (Your mail may get moderated
  unless you're a subscriber, but please be patient.)

  You should subscribe to this list if the discussions interest you, or
  you like to help others using ick, or you want to otherwise
  contribute to the project.

  You should send [[patches]] to this list.

* [ick-announce][] for project announcements. You should subscribe to
  this list if you want to be notified whenever anything noteworthy
  happens in the ick project, such as when there is a new release of
  the software.

[ick-announce]: https://listmaster.pepperfish.net/postorius/lists/ick-announce.ick.liw.fi/
[ick-discuss]: https://listmaster.pepperfish.net/postorius/lists/ick-discuss.ick.liw.fi/

The **IRC channel** is `#ick` on the `irc.oftc.net` network. You
should join the channel if you want to chat about ick, or to ask
questions, or help others. If you don't have an IRC client, this web
service may be useful: <https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels=ick>.

It's best to not ask for help by directly mailing known project
contributors. Public discussions allow everyone to help, and everyone
can benefit from any help that is given. Private mails don't have
these benefits and put an unnecessary burden on the visible
contributors.

There is also a room the Matrix chat network for ick. The room is
called `#ick:matrix.org`. The [Riot.im](https://about.riot.im/) client
is popular for Matrix.

The ick project has a code of [[conduct]]. Instances of abusive,
harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by
email to <mailto:ick-conduct@pieni.net>, which currently reaches the
following people:
