Pidgin is a huge project with a community that helps to provide support. We

have a number of ways you can get in touch with us.

The Pidgin team can be reached via mailing lists for support and development

information.

- [support@pidgin.im](mailto:support@pidgin.im) ([List Info](https://lists.pidgin.im/listinfo/support)) ([List Archive](https://lists.pidgin.im/pipermail/support/))

- [devel@pidgin.im](mailto:devel@pidgin.im) ([List Info](https://lists.pidgin.im/listinfo/devel)) ([List Archive](https://lists.pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/))

- We offer a few other mailing lists. [See the full list.](https://lists.pidgin.im/listinfo)

If you prefer chat-based contact, the Pidgin community has two primary chat

resources:

- `#pidgin` on `irc.freenode.net` on IRC

- `devel@conference.pidgin.im`, a Jabber/XMPP MUC (Multi-User Chat)

We often get people asking how they can help. Take a look at the

[Contributing](/contributing) page for suggestions! There are lots of things to

do for people, and a lot of them don't even involve the source code!
