You will find a bulletin board where you can post important notices, a noticeboard of availible things you can work on, reports on collaborations such as ACID which you can work on and a final board titled Guidelines, help, and resources which holds tons of information and help. You will also find Wikipedia related media such as the Wikipedia Signpost, our awesome weekly newsletter, and a podcast.

IRC
