+
+Channel modes
+=============
+
+** Invite-Only channel.
+
+An Invite-Only channel can only be joined if you are invited by one of its
+channel operators.
+
+To make your channel invite-only:
+
+  irc> /mode #channel +i
+
+To invite users to the channel:
+
+  irc> /invite user #channel
+
+** Private channels.
+
+Private channels turn up normally in the channels list. People can see you are
+on a private channel somewhere, but they can never find out on -which- private
+channel you are unless they search all (private) channels by brute force.
+
+To make your channel private:
+
+  irc> /mode #channel +p
+
+** Secret channels.
+
+Secret channels do not show up in a channels list and you cannot find out its
+topic unless you join it. If you are on a secret channel, someone who is not
+on the same channel can't see that you are there.
+
+To make your channel secret::
+
+  irc> /mode #channel +s
+
+How make chanal for private discuss?
+====================================
+
+Create new channel and set it invite-only and invite all you need. Or make
+password protected channel.
+
+Create new channel (by joining to non existed one) with password:
+
+  irc> /join #<channel> <password>
+
+Another people join same:
+
+  irc> /join #<channel> <password>
+
+Or join without password and setup it late:
+
+  irc> /join #<channel>
+  irc> /mode +k <password>
+
+Don't forget set topic for newly created channel:
+
+  irc> /topic #<channel> <topic>
