什么是 #wordpress 聊天?

Essentially, the IRC Live Chat #wordpress channel is a WordPress chat room for anyone to visit should they run into a problem or want to talk about WordPress.

哇, 他们在谈论什么?

While a separate WordPress Help Channel was started, people continued to come to the #wordpress channel, which evolved into more of a developers and hackers room. Hang around a while and you may see a wide range of topics from sheer silliness to complicated discussions about code and programming. For someone who is new to IRC, entering a room of 70+ people talking about regex and SSH and other linux / programming terms is rather intimidating. In truth, it's a highly social place and many of the volunteers have become quite good friends.

当启动了一个分开的WordPress帮助Channel的时候，人们继续来到#wordpress channel，这个聊天室经过发展，更多地成为了开放人员和电脑黑客室。你在这个聊天室中逗留一会，就会发现这里的话题非常地广泛，既有一些简单的问题，也有一些关于编码和程序的深入探讨。对于一个刚到IRC的人来说，进入一个多于70人的聊天室，谈论有关regex和SSH 以及其它的 linux / 编程术语，是令人胆怯的。事实上，这个聊天室是一个非常利于社交的场所，许多志愿者都在这里成为了好朋友。

Still, don't let them intimidate you. Just ask your question, and repeat it a few minutes later if it is unanswered.

不要被惊吓了。只提出你的问题，如果没有得到回答，几分钟后，再重复你的问题。

谁将会在聊天室中给我提供帮助?

Who knows. It will depend on what time of day it is. 这谁也不知道。主要取决于，你在什么时间得到了帮助。

你允诺回答所有的问题吗?

No. We can't do that - though we will try. In some cases we might ask for assistance from someone else or tell you that it may be that a forum post is the best way to get a solution. Usually, you are directed towards other possible resources.

不会。我们不能够回答所有的问题-但是我们会努力回答。有时候，我们会像其他人寻求帮助，或者告诉你论坛中的帖子可能帮助你得到最后的解决方法。通常，你会被导向其它的答案资源。

任何人都能够帮助回答问题吗?

Yes! If you know something, help someone else out. Something like this cannot succeed with just one person doing the answering - hopefully you'll join in too!

是的！如果你知道某个问题的答案，你可以在聊天室中提供帮助。只有一个人帮助回答问题，聊天室是不可能运行好的-希望你能够加入！

我怎样辨别聊天室中的某个人是谁?

An IRC Chat Room's list of who's there usually contains nicknames. Some are the person's real name or personal nickname, while others are just made up names. It isn't meant to "hide" who is who, it's just the nature of a chat room.

IRC聊天室的一个列表中通常包含有成员的昵称。有的昵称是真名，有的是绰号，还有的是伪造的名称。这样做并不是要隐匿成员的身份，这样做在于一个聊天室的本性就是这样的。

While the majority of the volunteers are extremely helpful and friendly, before you give anyone access to your blog - if they ask - you should satisfy yourself that you know who they are and you trust them.

虽然大多数的志愿者都非常地友好而且乐于助人-如果有志愿者问你是否可以访问你的博客-你必须知道这个志愿者是谁，而且在你相信这个志愿者的情况下，再让志愿者访问你的博客。

我能够登录进来而且只是随便看看吗?

Yes, you are welcome to join the channel and watch the proceedings without participating.

可以，欢迎你加入channel，而且指示观看这个过程，但是自己不会加入。

The purpose of the channel is to provide questions and answers about WordPress and it's activities and efforts, a lot of work goes on there, even though on the surface it appears to also be very social. You can just watch or "lurk", but if you participate, help don't hinder the work going on there.

Channel的目的在于提供关于WordPress的问题和答案，以及WordPress的活动以及成果的公示，聊天室中进行着许多操作，虽然从表面上看来，聊天室也非常地社会化。你可以仅仅地观看或者"隐藏"，但是如果你加入的话，应该帮助而不是阻止 聊天室中进行的操作。

And if you leave yourself logged in and walk away, your name will still be on the list. People may think you are there when you aren't. If you walk away, please mark your nickname as "away", such as Podz|away or use the "away" feature in your IRC client. Or log out.

如果你登录到聊天室中，有离开了，你的名字仍然会出现在列表上。当你离开的时候，人们可能仍然认为你还在聊天室里。如果你离开了，请将你的昵称标明为"离开",例如Podz|away或者在你的IRC client上使用"离开"功能。或者退出。

聊天室中没有人，非常地安静

As the WordPress IRC channel is run by volunteers, sometimes no one might show up. Or no one will be talking as they are busy doing other things and have just left their nickname marked as active. It may or may not mean that someone isn't paying attention. Ask your question and be patient. Someone may be there or back in a few minutes and might be able to answer. If not, then return at another time to see if there is someone there to help. Or post your question on the WordPress Support Forum to make sure someone sees it.

因为WordPress IRC channel是由志愿者运行的，有时候，可能没有人在那里。或者没有人会说话，因为他们忙于做其它的事情，或者只是将他们的昵称标明为在线。但是这并不意味着，没有人在注意聊天室。提出你的问题，而且要耐心等待。可能有的人就在那儿，或者有的人几分钟后就会返回聊天室，而且可能知道你所提的问题的答案。如果没有人在聊天室中，之后再返回聊天室，看看有没有人能够给你提供帮助。后者将你的问题发表在WordPress支持论坛上，而且要确定某些人看到了你的问题。

可以做的和不可以做的

Yes - Even the IRC has standards! 对-即使IRC也有行为标准！

DO NOT:

禁忌:

• Copy and paste a lot of text into the chat window. If you do, this will have two immediate effects: (1) Others will ignore you, (2) You will probably get auto-kicked from the channel. Use PasteBin instead.

• 将许多的文本复制并且粘贴到聊天窗口。如果你执行了，立马就会有两个效果：（1）其他人会忽视你，（2）你可能会自动地被踢出channel。应该使用粘贴板来代替。

• Give out personal information or passwords. If necessary, and you trust the volunteer, use private messaging.

• 给出你的个人信息和密码。如果有必要，而且你相信志愿者的话，使用秘密信息。

• Make a fuss that your problem is more urgent /dire /important than everyone else's. It isn't.
• 认为你的问题比其他人的问题更加紧急/困难/重要，你就在大题小做。并不是这回事。

• Insult people at all. Not good. Does you no favours.
• 不要侮辱人。没有好处，对你没有好处。

• Private Message people unless you have asked BEFORE doing so.
• 你得到允许之后，再给某个人秘密发送信息。

• Solicit, spam, or aggravate the volunteers on the channel with unrelated issues. They are quick to ban or kick out offenders.

• 恳求，垃圾广告，用无关的问题，干扰channel上的志愿者。志愿者会快速地逐出那些冒犯他们的人。

• Say anything you want. While this is an open channel, and there is a lot of leeway, it is for WordPress business so confine chatter to WordPress when possible.

• 说任何你想说的内容。虽然这是一个开放的channel，而且有许多话题，但是这个聊天室是关于WordPress的，因此如果可能的话，尽量将谈话限制为WordPress的相关内容。

• Swear and use potentially offensive language and topics. It happens, but generally it is constrained. And if it happens, these words are usually used in a sentence. ;-)

• 诅咒并且使用潜在地具有攻击性的语言和话题。这样情况会发生，但是会使人感到非常不舒服。如果这种情况发生的话，这些词通常出现在一个句子中。;-)

• Start conversations about personal or private matters. You never know who is watching.

• 以个人或者私人的问题开始谈话。你永远都不会知道谁在观看你的谈话内容。

DO:

可以做的:

• Be polite. No one has to have all the answers to your questions.

• 要有礼貌。没有人必须知道你所有的问题的答案。

• Remember, be patient. First come, first serve.

• 记住，要有耐心。先提问的人，会先得到答案。

• Chat with people - it's the friendly thing to do.

• 与他人聊天-这样做是很友好的。

• Ask about anything if you aren't sure.

• 问问所有你不确定的内容。

• Address the volunteer on the channel helping you by using their name, such as Podz: Did you mean..... This helps to keep track of who is talking to whom.

• 通过使用志愿者的姓名，能够给你带来帮助，如Podz: 你的意思是....。这能够帮助明了谁在和谁谈话。

• Set a good example. Be what you want other people to be. If you want them to be calm, be calm. If you want them to be courteous and friendly, be courteous and friendy. The habitual behavior of people on a channel is the most powerful influence on newbies arriving on the channel.

• 树立榜样。你希望他人表现为怎样的，你自己也应该那样表现。如果你希望他人冷静，你自己也应该保持冷静。如果你希望他人礼貌友好，你自己也应该礼貌友好。Channel上的人们的习惯行为，对channel上的新手，有很大的影响力。

• Be nice if someone messages you. They've gone to the trouble to seek out someone with the background to help them. You're it! Be flattered they've singled you out. If you think they'll get better support by asking their question on channel, just let them know.

• 如果有人给你发信心，你应该保持友好的态度。他们遇到了麻烦，找到某个相关背景的人，来帮助他们。你就是这个人！如果他们挑选了你，你应该高兴。如果你认为他们在channel上提出问题，可能会得到更好的帮助，你就直接告诉他们你的想法。
