Joseph,

In addition to Elizabeth's answer, I'll hereby provide you the link to our web 
page regarding the mailing lists. You can subscribe to one of the GnuCash 
mailing lists starting from here:
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists

The irc link can be used from a special irc client. You webbrowser can't 
handle that. This wikipedia page gives you more infor on irc: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irc
You can skip the technical details, but it does explain irc and points at some 
clients you can install on your pc.
