   10: This is a general chat channel for NetBSD users and developers who interface between the users and the source trees.  This is a good place for new users to get help with problems they are having with release builds, as well as leading-edge users who are tripping over bugs in our current development tree.  These channels are not a replacement for the bug-reporting system of GNATS or the mailing lists, but function as an enhancement of more 'real-time' discussion.  It is quite common that the response to a question will be to search the mailing lists, or to open a bug report.  The conversation in this channel is not too strict, but it is appreciated if people stay on the NetBSD topic or at least keep off-topic conversations within reason so as to not annoy the patrons of the channel.

   16: This is an OS-agnostic channel for pkgsrc and pkgsrc-wip users and developers.  There are a couple of 'bots' in the channel that will display source commits to the channel for the public GIT repository and the pkgsrc-wip tree hosted on SourceForge.  This channel is specifically for discussion of pkgsrc, changes to pkgsrc, and suggestions to pkgsrc, and not a general chat channel.  This place is good for bootstrap help that you can't find on the mailing lists or documentation.
