Getting Help

You can ask help during the event here (this link will make you join #tb-qa on irc where most of us are available to provide help). Sometimes we are slow to answer - so wait a bit before leaving the chat. Starting a sentence with a name helps that name get attention. _Tsk_ Should be online most of the time so don't hesitate to ping him.
