+
+  <p>On some IRC networks, you can register your nickname with a service called
+  NickServ.  By sending special messages to NickServ, you can set your password
+  and identify yourself.  Some IRC chat rooms may not allow you to join without
+  a registered nickname.</p>
+
+  <p><app>Polari</app> does not currently support nickname registration automatically.
+  Every IRC network handles registering a specific nickname differently and you will
+  need to check with the IRC network on how to register your nickname.
+  After you have registered a nickname, you will need to message NickServ to identify
+  yourself after connecting to the IRC Network with the following command: </p>
+  <steps>
+    <item>
+      <p><input>/msg NickServ identify username password</input></p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Press <key>Enter</key></p>
+    </item>
+  </steps>
+  <note>
+    <p>Use the username and password you registered with the IRC network with this
+        command.
+    </p>
+  </note>
+
+  <p><app>Polari</app> will remember your username and password and the next time
+  you connect to the IRC network <gui>Polari</gui> will automatically register you
+  with the Nickserv service.</p>
+
+
+  <note>
+    <p>These instructions only allow you to use a password-protected nickname
+    on certain IRC networks.  It is not currently possible to register an IRC
+    nickname or change your nickname password using <app>Polari</app>.</p>

+  <title>Overview of Internet Relay Chat</title>
+
+  <p>
+    Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a means of chatting with people online using
+    public and private chatrooms.  IRC networks, such as Freenode or Gimpnet, are unique
+    and host their own servers with its own channels.  IRC uses a client / server model
+    where you can use a client, such as Polari, to connect to an IRC server on and join a channel.
+    Channels, also known as chat rooms, are where users meet online to chat.
