-With IRC you will miss messages when you are not logged on, but luckily the latest [[https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/%23xubuntu-devel.html|Xubuntu-devel]] and  [[https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/%23xubuntu.html|Xubuntu Support]] channels are logged and updated every hour or so, and you can find older ones here [https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/]. Similarly, other people won't be in the channel all the time either - but if you say that you'll check the weblogs later for an answer they will at least try to get back to you even if when they come back you are not around.
