Sander & Pierre,
I've expanded the entry in LearnOSM in line with the emails. If you can
have a quick check for accuracy I'd be grateful:

Thanks to documenting this.
We will have have to synchronize ourselves and use the same link. It
has been suggested to use this link that I find more intuitive for
newcomers : https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.oftc.net/hot
I have added this link in some TM jobs since this Kiwiirc instance is
easier. It is now added also otn the Task Manager front page. I
suggest that both the Task Manager front page and the LearnOSM refer
to this instance.

*Objet :* Re: [HOT] Instant help - IRC channel
Some remarks:
* New users often expect immediate answers, or just ask a question and
leave (like you would on a help site, which mails you about answers).
It's best to warn them to leave the page open as long as possible
(until they got an answer)
* After the sencentce "Alternatively, use the IRC client of your
choice", I'd mention the parameters: server is irc.oftc.net
<http://irc.oftc.net/>, channel is #hot.
* The user-friendlyness of IRC depends a lot on the client. I don't
find the osm standard IRC client very pretty, which may scare away
people. It might be worth to try some others like
https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.oftc.net/hot (though that should
probably be changed at the TM level)

Pierre,
I've added a section to LearnOSM concerning the *OSM HOT IRC
Channel #hot *link from the home page of the Tasking Manager:
http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/tasking-manager/#getting-live-help
I was very impressed at how simple it is - I've only started using
IRC in the last year, & wish I had found this version a lot
earlier, because it is so easy.
As usual, for anyone reading this message - if there's anything
wrong in what has been put into LearnOSM, make sure it gets fixed
- email, github, feedback from site - lots of options (Please
don't use the 'do nothing & then complain' button).
Regards
