QMO quality.mozilla.org (alpha)

QA uses Mozilla's IRC server for real-time communication and collaboration. Many of the regular QA events revolve around IRC in some way - both Test Days and Bug Days happen over IRC.
In order to get started on IRC, you need an IRC client. You can use Chatzilla, Mozilla's own IRC client, or any other IRC client you choose to connect to Mozilla's server.
