247Mailing Lists
248</h2>
249There are three mailing lists for providing LLVM users with information:
250
251<ol>
252 <li> LLVM Announcements List:<br>
253 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce">
254 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce</a>
255
256 <p>
257 This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding
258 LLVM. It is primarily intended to announce new releases, major updates to
259 the software, etc. This list is highly recommended for anyone that uses
260 LLVM.
261 </p>
262
263 <li> LLVM Developers List:<br>
264 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">
265 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev</a>
266
267 <p>
268 This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions
269 of LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing
270 code for or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.
271 </p>
272
273 <li> LLVM Commits List<br>
274 <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits">
275 http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits</a>
276
277 <p>
278 This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
279 commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to
280 stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
281 volume.
