+  <title>Ask for help</title>
+
+  <p>Should you face any issues when trying to develop for <app>GNOME</app>, there are ample official 
channels to ask for help. <app>GNOME</app> runs a Internet Relay Chat network and several project-specific, 
topic-specific and miscellaneous mailing lists which are subscribed to by developers, maintainers and users 
of the project.</p>

+      <title>irc.gnome.org</title>
+      <p>Most <app>GNOME</app> projects have an IRC channel by their name. For example, if you want to ask a 
<app>Epiphany</app> specific question, the channel would be <em>#epiphany</em>. Browse the list of IRC 
channels on the <link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC#List_of_IRC_Channels";>wiki 
page</link>.</p>

+    <item>
+      <title>Mailing lists</title>
+      <p><app>GNOME</app> users logged in on IRC channels are often geographically spread out which means 
they are in different timezones making their availability to answer questions sparse if you are in a 
different timezone from them. If you have not been able to resolve your queries or do not like to wait on IRC 
channels, then approach a project or topic-specific mailing list. You browse a full list of the mailing lists 
on the <link href="https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo";>wiki page</link>.</p>
