Like I have always said when I refer people to online chat, I recommend Freenode, and a number of FIRST-related channels on it, but specifically ##FRC. As a matter of policy I do not speak on behalf of others, freely speak my opinion when it is asked or make a suggestion, follow the
catalyst role be it on IRC or in a leader position, and never hold grudges or give out negative karma.
I always suggest the tool for the job, and Freenode is it. Mumble is it. Git is it. If you can find a channel, on any server/network for that matter, that you like, best wishes to you. Even better, join all of them, what stops you? I don't suggest any one in particular because I don't think any one is perfect enough yet (I do single out ##FRC because that is where development of my scouting program takes place).
