Running into problems? Confused about the task details? Need to talk to someone?

There are a bunch of resources out there for you to use!

Contest specific helplins

First, consider e-mailing the ghop-python project mailing list with your questions. A group of friendly Pythonistas (see list of mentors, below) is standing by!

You can also use Internet Relay Chat, or IRC; use an IRC client to connect to chat.freenode.net, channel #python-ghop. We will try to hang out there.

Finally, please feel free to e-mail the task owner or 'CC' person directly.

General Python community

The Python community is very friendly and can be a great source of information. Check out the list of community resources!

In particular, you should consider posting questions to the general python mailing list. If you post to this list, please do identify yourself as "participant in the Google Highly Open Participation contest" and be sure to identify the task you're working on -- that way people can give you more detailed help.
