+# Prelude ERC
+
+## Customizing Server list
+
+If you want to join a list of servers on `M-x start-irc`, other than
+the default list, please redefine the variable `my-fav-irc` as follows
+in your personal config
+
+``` emacs-lisp
+(setq my-fav-irc '("irc.freenode.net"
+                   "irc.oftc.net"
+                   "irc.mozilla.org"
+                   "irc.gnome.org"))
+```
+
+## Customizing Last Quit Message
+
+If you want to customize your IRC Last Quit Message from *Asta la
+vista* to something more funkier, please redefine `bye-irc-message` as
+follows
+
+``` emacs-lisp
+(setq bye-erc-message "adios")
+```
+
+## Reading NickServ passwords from auth-source plugin
+
+If you want to automatically authenticate while logging into IRC
+servers set the `erc-prompt-for-password` to nil as follows
+
+``` emacs-lisp
+(setq erc-prompt-for-password nil)
+```
+
+Now you can set password in plaintext in .authinfo file in the netRC
+format or you it encrypted in .authinfo.gpg file after setting up gpg
+in emacs
+
+## Opening all ERC buffers in a new perspective
+Many a time when we start IRC with the `start-irc` command, all the
+channels open in our existing workspace, which can be annoying to
+some; especially to those who like to organize their buffers into
+separate groups (perspectives). To avoid this scenario, it is better
+to group all the ERC buffers into one perspective called `IRC` when
+`start-irc` is called. To enable this set the `prelude-new-irc-persp`
+variable to true as follows
+
+``` emacs-lisp
+(setq prelude-new-irc-persp t)
+```

+# Prelude Python
+
+## Python Mode
+
+Emacs comes with Python programming support through the built-in
+Python-mode. Whenever you are editing Python code run `C-h m` to
+look at the Python mode key bindings. Alternatively look at the
+menu bar entries under Python. To toggle the menu bar press `F12`.
+
+## Syntax checking
+
+Prelude ships with [Flycheck](https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck),
+an on the fly syntax checker. Flycheck has support for two Python
+syntax checkers, [Pylint](http://www.pylint.org/) and
+[Flake8](http://flake8.readthedocs.org/en/latest/). In
+order to have Flycheck support on the fly syntax checking for
+Python you need to have either of these installed and accessible to
+Emacs. In order to manually choose a checker run `C-c ! s`.
