Since there is only one non-council member hanging around occasionally in the 
public TEI Consortium IRC channel, does anyone have any objections to using 
that?  (If so, we can create a #tei-council private channel.)

If there are no objections, you may also be interested in the wiki page I have 
created which contains the information necessary to connect.

http://www.tei-c.org.uk/wiki/index.php/IRC

However, the information on specific clients is limited, so do feel free to add 
more detail!

Basically, in almost any IRC client, set the server to be irc.freenode.net
and the channel to be #tei-c and you should be fine.  In some clients this is 
done through setting up an account in various graphical manners, in others you 
might use /connect serverName or /server serverName and then /join #tei-c 
Alternatively, if you have the Chatzilla extension installed, in the address bar 
of firefox you can use this url: irc://irc.freenode.net/tei-c to connect.  My 
preferred client is gaim because it is multi-protocol (does yahoo, aim/aol, msn, 
jabber, gmail, chat protocols amongst others).
