SansIRC devs?

[Gluonite]

I was wondering if it was possible and/or worthwhile to try to become involved in development if we cannot use IRC. I have checked into this on my lab and office computers and IRC is not possible on our network for some reason. I've talked to net admins and tried everything I know, but there seems to be no way to do it. Am I just out of luck? Is IRC mandatory as a dev? I'd really like to contribute, but if this is too much of a communcation hurdle, then just say so.

IRC is not mandatory, it is just the easiest way to keep in touch with other devs. You can always send PMs on the forums or e-mails if you have fixes or patches.

There is also a web based IRC clients out there as well that you might want to try.  IRC is not mandatory but it makes things a whole lot easier to communicate ideas and have a good back and forth.
