Need Help?     Are you confused with SILC? Don't quite know where to get some more information? If you answer Yes, then this is the door you're looking for. This page includes introduction on how to get started and how to get more help. There are many places where you can get more information and help regarding SILC in general, using SILC Network, developing SILC and much more.   Getting Started with SILC   The very first thing you need to do to get online with SILC is to download the SILC client. Go to the download page, and download the latest client. There are several binary packages available if you do not want to compile the client by yourself. After you have your very own SILC client downloaded then locate the SILC server nearest to you. Please see our server list, for all servers in the SILC Network. You can also directly connect to the silc.silcnet.org server if you like.   To connect to for example silc.silcnet.org server, give the following command, /connect silc.silcnet.org.   You can also give /help to get more information about SILC Client commands.   You most likely have questions about SILC after you start using it. The best place to look for questions and answers is the SILC Client FAQ. Please read it before you start asking more questions.     Getting Help Online   The best and quickest way to get assistance is to get online on SILC Network. If you have questions, or just want to chat about SILC you can join the silc channel. This friendly channel includes people who are interested in SILC and ready to answer questions assuming they know the answers.   Give the command /join silc to join the channel. Please introduce yourself before asking the question, and wait patiently for your answer.     Getting Help On This Website   Reading documentation on SILC is also a good way to learn about SILC. See the documentation, manuals and white papers available in the documentation page for more information.     Getting Help via Mailing Lists   There are currently two mailing lists which may interest you. See also our list of all available mailing lists.   silc-users This is general purpose mailing list that includes conversation about SILC, announcements of new releases and provides help for anyone who ask questions. You can subscribe to the mailist list on the mailing lists page, and read the archives of the mailing list at silc-users archives. You can send email to the mailing list by sending it to silc-users@lists.silcnet.org email address.   silc-devel This is the second mailing list which is intended for SILC developers and you can ask questions related to SILC development or SILC protocol specifications.
