### Who can I ask for help?

#code4lib has a designated group of "helpers," who can answer questions or provide support. The channel's official group contacts to Freenode are Mark Matienzo (`anarchivist`), Becky Yoose (`yo_bj`), and Ross Singer (`rsinger`); all three of them have channel operator privileges.

### What about ~~panizzi~~ zoia?

Zoia is a [supybot](https://github.com/Supybot/Supybot) who hangs out in #code4lib. To get a list of commands it understands, type `@list` (the "@" symbol tells zoia you're talking to it). Here's a quick list of the more common commands:

#### `@help`<
#### `@help`

Find out how to use a particular command. The correct syntax is (usually) `@help` followed by the command name, e.g. `@help karma`. You can also just ask the other people on the channel how to do something.
