BOINC Online Help lets you talk one-on-one with experienced BOINC users, who can:

• answer questions about BOINC and volunteer computing;
• walk you through the process of installing and using BOINC;
• troubleshoot any problems you might have.

BOINC Online Help is based on Skype, an Internet-based telephone system. Skype is free (both the software and the calls). If you don't already have Skype, please download and install it.

The best way to get help is by voice, for which you need either built-in microphone and speakers or an external headset for your computer. Alternatively, you can use Skype's text-based chat system to communicate with Help Volunteers.

Volunteers speaking several languages are available. Please select a language:
"; $langs = get_languages(); foreach ($langs as $lang) { $lang_enc = urlencode($lang); echo "
Get help in $lang"; } echo "

Other sources of help

You can also get information and advice from:

• The BOINC web site.
• BOINC-related web sites.
• The BOINC message boards.
• The message boards on any BOINC-based project.
