-------------------------------------------------+------------------------
There are a bunch of links and mentions of irc://irc.freenode.net in the
Django documentation. Many people don't have an IRC client set up so
sending them to irc:// protocol links isn't so much use. Also the official
endpoint to connect to is chat.freenode.net these days - irc.freenode.net
is a CNAME to it.

I think if we updated the documentation to point to the freenode "chat"
page it would be the most use: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/chat . This
includes a link to the webchat interface as well as configuration
instructions for connecting with an IRC client.

Comment (by Ahisahar Pretel):

I checked and in the documentation there are references to
irc://irc.freenode.net/django and irc://irc.freenode.net/django-dev .
Should all of them be replaced by ​https://freenode.net/kb/answer/chat
specifying the name of the chat in the text itself and not into the link?

Thanks for picking this up. Specifying the name in the link sounds good to
me.
