+Communication Channels
+======================
+
+All important communications and messages should be sent to the
+`xen-devel <10_>`_ mailing list, which is the only official channel for
+code submissions, acks, code reviews, and decision-making.
+
+In the modern connected world there are several other communication
+channels available at any given time, including online meetings and IRC.
+Xen Project has an IRC channel named #xendevel on the OFTC network where
+some of the regular contributors and maintainers can be found. However,
+discussions on media other than the xen-devel mailing list should be
+summarized and sent to xen-devel to reach a wider audience, for
+record-keeping, and to make code submissions, acks, and code reviews
+official.
+
 Code reviews for **reviewers** and **patch authors**
