## Guidelines
We deem these rules to be self evident, that all developers are created equal...please follow them in good faith. We'll all have a bit more radness as a result.

### Respect
We all have day jobs, but we also enjoying helping others. Respect each other's time and ideas. Try to give back more than you take.

### Friendliness
Keeping a healthy attitude and friendly atmosphere will make the experience enjoyable for all and will make sure that the people who are willing to spend time helping others are not driven away.

### Focus
Staying on topic will make sure that the discussion remains fruitful for everyone and reduces the effort of finding useful information. While we wish to cooperate with the other php frameworks out there, discussing inter-framework policy in #li3 and #li3-core is considered off-topic. 

### Paste
Anything more than one line of code should **not** be put in the IRC channels but instead use the pastebin found at [pastium.org](http://pastium.org)

### Questions
Be in the right place and direct questions at the group. Everyone is here to help, so only talk to an individual when you have already engaged them in the conversation. Private messages should only be used as a last resort. 

Remember:

- `#li3` is for general discussion and support questions.
- `#li3-core` is for issues and development within the core library.

Both public channels are also logged: [#li3 logs](http://li3.rad-dev.org/bot/li3), [#li3-core logs](http://li3.rad-dev.org/bot/li3-core).
