   This is going to vary from project to project:

   • IRC channels for a project on which you're working
   • Mailing lists for the same

   This is really going to vary by project. Not all projects have this. The best place to start is: the project's contributing page. Some projects will have a special IRC channel for newbies. Others will have special projects and listerservs for new people. So always check the project's documentation.

   It really varies a lot. Unfortunately, there's no hard-and-fast answers to this. If you have better tips, please share here (link to "how to contribute").

   +1 @TardisPackrat it seems that the more abstract question that would be better to answer is 'how to find out where to ask for help in your project' possibly with a vague flow chart.
