<h2>Mailing Lists</h2>

There are three mailing lists for providing LLVM users with information:

<ol>
    <li> LLVM Announcements List:<br>
    <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce">
    http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce</a>

    <p>
    This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding
    LLVM.  It is primarily intended to announce new releases, major updates to
    the software, etc.  This list is highly recommended for anyone that uses
    LLVM.
    </p>

    <li> LLVM Developers List:<br>
    <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">
    http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev</a>

    <p>
    This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions
    of LLVM.  People post to this list when they have questions about writing
    code for or using the LLVM tools.  It is relatively low volume.
    </p>

    <li> LLVM Commits List<br>
    <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits">
    http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits</a>

    <p>
    This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
    commit code changes to the CVS archive.  It is useful for those who want to
    stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
    volume.
    </p>
