Hey there!
I’m new to Yii and I’m liking it very much. Beside it’s documentation lacks some content, it’s still a growing community, but Yii is a great and strong framework, it has all chances to be a very popular framework.
As in almost every framework, there’s an IRC channel #yii on FreeNode (irc.freenode.net), but few people there yet, still growing. I dunno who maintains the channel, anyway, I’m inviting you all to join it, help and get helped! The more people helping there, the more people being helped.
You can find more about IRC here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat
Freenode is a network most used by developers, you can find more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenode
You’ll need an IRC Client to access it. Most used clients are mIRC (Windows - www.mirc.com) and XChat (Win/Linux - www.xchat.org). You can find more about IRC Clients here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_clients
So let’s grow this channel together! That’s all, thanks!
