Hi Krzysztof and welcome again !
Yes IRC can be pretty chatty from time to time but you will probably
get used to it. Mailing list is good place to ask question too and you
actually get more people to see your message and answer, just in an
asynchronous fashion.

Hi Krzysztof,
Welcome to XWiki! :) Thanks for the introduction and have fun with your
GSOC project.
I'm glad you've chosen an interesting issue and don't worry about IRC, it
will come naturally in some time.
Thanks,
Caty
