 <li>The <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">Developer's
 List</a>: 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.</li>

 <li>The <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmbugs/">Bugs &amp;

 closed, and when people submit patches to be included in LLVM.  It is higher
 volume than the LLVMdev list.</li>

 <li>The <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/">CVS Commits
 Archive</a>: 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.</li>
