People may be using different clients, so giving one set of
instructions here may not be best. Also, there's an easier web-based
client available. Send people to the wiki for further instructions.

<h3>${Markup(_('Real Time Support (IRC)'))}</h3>
<p>${Markup(_('If a problem requires real time support, with somebody
to explain each step and deal with any problems as they arise, Internet Relay
Chat (IRC) is the ideal solution. Fedora has a number of IRC channels, and one
specifically aimed at end-user support.'))}</p>
- <p>${Markup(_('To access this support launch Fedoras default instant
messaging client, Pidgin, and choose Manage from the Accounts menu. Add a new
account, and select IRC as the protocol. Next, enter a Screen Name and save the
changes. The final step is to add the #fedora channel by selecting Add Chat
from the Buddies menu. Make sure to select an IRC account from the drop down
menu, and enter #fedora as the channel, clicking Add to save the changes. Now
that this is done, #fedora should appear in the default Pidgin screen, and
double clicking this will allow you to access the #fedora channel, where
end-users can ask questions and get support in real time.'))}</p>
+ <p>${Markup(_('To access this support, you can use your own IRC client
such as Pidgin or Empathy, or use the <a
href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#fedora">Freenode web
chat</a> system. More information is available at the <a
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IRC">Fedora wiki</a>.'))}</p>
<h3>${Markup(_('E-mail Support'))}</h3>
<p>${Markup(_('Some users prefer to take advantage of mailing lists to
get help. The advantage of this method is that by subscribing to a mailing list
it is possible to discover common problems many users have, and their
solutions, before even encountering them! It also makes it easy to see when
someone else needs help, and if you know the answer, to help them.'))}</p>
