IRC

There is a lisp channel at Freenode (formerly the Open Projects Network) where several lispers waste time. It's an excellent place to share stories from the trenches, get help from experienced lispers and chat about things lispers care about. To log on, connect to irc.freenode.net (or use the alias irc.lisp.se). There exists a highly opinionated guide to setting up Lisp here (Link is down).

#lisp

The #lisp channel is logged. Logs are also available in a plain text format here, here, and elaborate (searchable) format at ircbrowse.com (inactive, april 2009). An infobot bot called minion (part of cl-irc) is in the channel, logging and helping to remember things. It also has a bit of an attitude. An infobot called specbot is in the channel, and can help with searching the Hyperspec - try saying "clhs: " for making a query in the Hyperspec

#lispcafe

A less formal channel for lisp-oriented discussion, socialization, community support at all levels of experience. Gurus and newbie lispers are welcome alike, as is any lisp dialect and probably other languages as well (whereas #lisp is a place for high-level discussion by experienced Lisp programmers). We just ask that you be cool to each other.

Note: #cl-gardeners, which belonged to the Common Lisp Gardeners Project, is now defunct and has merged with #lispcafe.
