I've added a section to LearnOSM concerning the <strong>OSM HOT IRC
Channel #hot </strong>link from the home page of the Tasking
Manager: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/tasking-manager/#getting-live-help">http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/tasking-manager/#getting-live-help</a><br clear="none">

I was very impressed at how simple it is - I've only started using
IRC in the last year, & wish I had found this version a lot
earlier, because it is so easy.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
As usual, for anyone reading this message - if there's anything
wrong in what has been put into LearnOSM, make sure it gets fixed -
email, github, feedback from site - lots of options (Please don't
use the 'do nothing & then complain' button).<br clear="none">
