-          IRC isn’t the most user-friendly chat system. <a href="https://slack.com">Slack</a> on the other hand is a very user-friendly chat system. We have set up an <a href="http://rauchg.com/slackin/" title="&raquo; Slackin">IRC to Slack bridge</a> (that we generously borrowed from Socket.io, thank you!).
+          IRC is open and very common, but Slack is more user-friendly. We have developed an <a href="https://github.com/hoodiehq/slack-irc-duplex" title="slack-irc-duplex on GitHub">IRC/Slack two-way sync</a>, so you can choose whatever you personally prefer.

+          We have multiple channels so everyone has the opportunity to opt into certain topics of their interest around Hoodie.
+
+          There is <strong>#hoodie-dev</strong>, <strong>#hoodie-design</strong>, <strong>#hoodie-docs</strong>, <strong>#hoodie-help</strong> and <strong>#hoodie-pouch</strong> to foster focused discussions around these topics.
+          On top of that there is <strong>#hoodie-random</strong>, where you'll mostly find gifs and off-topic stuff. Join <strong>#hoodie-selfies</strong> if you feel like sharing a moment with the community.
+
+          <strong>#hoodie</strong> is our general hub and if you aren't sure about where to go next you'll always find help there. Especially during office hours (see below).
