151LLVM.</p></li>

153<li><a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">LLVM Developers
154List</a>
155
156<p>This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions of
157LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code for
158or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.</p></li>

163<p>This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
164commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to
165stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
