+Overview
+========
+
+.. warning::
+
+ If you are using a released version of LLVM, see `the download page
+ <http://llvm.org/releases/>`_ to find your documentation.
+
+The LLVM compiler infrastructure supports a wide range of projects, from
+industrial strength compilers to specialized JIT applications to small
+research projects.
+
+Similarly, documentation is broken down into several high-level groupings
+targetted at different audiences:
+
+ * **Design & Overview**
+
+ Several introductory papers and presentations are available at
+ :ref:`design_and_overview`.
+
+ * **Publications**
+
+ The list of `publications <http://llvm.org/pubs>`_ based on LLVM.
+
+ * **User Guides**
+
+ Those new to the LLVM system should first vist the :ref:`userguides`.
+
+ NOTE: If you are a user who is only interested in using LLVM-based
+ compilers, you should look into `Clang <http://clang.llvm.org>`_ or
+ `DragonEgg <http://dragonegg.llvm.org>`_ instead. The documentation here is
+ intended for users who have a need to work with the intermediate LLVM
+ representation.
+
+ * **API Clients**
+
+ Developers of applications which use LLVM as a library should visit the
+ :ref:`programming`.
+
+ * **Subsystems**
+
+ API clients and LLVM developers may be interested in the
+ :ref:`subsystems` documentation.
+
+ * **Development Process**
+
+ Additional documentation on the LLVM project can be found at
+ :ref:`development_process`.
+
+ * **Mailing Lists**
+
+ For more information, consider consulting the LLVM :ref:`mailing_lists`.
