mIRC is practically free. I don't think it will shut down or anything
if you don't register it. It's not that great, but it is used by a lot
of people.
Xchat is okay, and totally free.
I don't know if it's still around but there used to be an IRC client
called pIRCh.
Of course, there's also always the option of sshing to a linux box and
using irssi.

Slightly off topic, but can anyone recommend a good free IRC client
for
WinXP?

Thanks for setting this up, Tantek. So, if we want to discuss further
issues with this problem, should we post them there, on that wiki
page, or continue making comments through email? A while ago I
responded to Ciaran's last message in this thread, but if that
response (or at least some form of it) should go on the wiki, I'll be
glad to do that.
Excellent questions Jeremy.
There is no simple hard and fast rule, but I have found that the
following
guidelines seem to help.
1. Discussions work better on the email list (or IRC channel - which
is
often faster than email).
2. Conclusions/opinions are better recorded on the wiki.
In general, I tend to prefer the combination of IRC+wiki, but that is
largely my personal preference - YMMV. Clearly email works better for
discussing more in depth issues. I've simply found that I am often
unable
to keep up with all the different threads, and thus end up not
replying to
some for many days (weeks, months), and then important concluding
points get
lost because they are never persisted in any form in a place where
people
can easily find them.
That is, the wiki is more "reader friendly" than email because you
can go to
the wiki and understand "the current state" of things, whereas email
archives are both hard to search and you have to typically read
through a
whole thread to understand what points were resolved and how.
Thus even for "issues" - if you believe you have a solid
understanding of
what an issue is, and that it is an issue, you could add it directly
to the
appropriate *-issues page. You could then use email as a notification
mechanism that you have raised the issue and provide a URL to it on
the
wiki. OTOH if you're not certain about an issue, then posting to
the list
can help to clarify/refine it at which point it should probably be
captured
on the wiki - in the hopes that it will be resolved and respective
changes
incorporated, and serve as documentation for those who would raise
the same
issue in the future.
Thanks,
Tantek
