Chris Lattner623ec622007-12-13 06:20:15 +0000[diff] [blame]18<p>Once you have <a href="get_started.html">checked out and built</a> clang and
19played around with it, you might be wondering what you can do to make it better
20and contribute to its development. Alternatively, maybe you just want to follow
21the development of the project to see it progress.

27has its own mailing lists because the communities have people with different
Chris Lattner623ec622007-12-13 06:20:15 +0000[diff] [blame]28interests. The two clang lists are:</p>

Chris Lattner623ec622007-12-13 06:20:15 +0000[diff] [blame]48<p>The best way to talk with other developers on the project is through the <a
49href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-dev">cfe-dev mailing
50list</a>. The clang mailing list is a very friendly place and we welcome
51newcomers. In addition to the cfe-dev list, a significant amount of design
52discussion takes place on the <a
53href="http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits">cfe-commits mailing
54list</a>. All of these lists have archives, so you can browse through previous
55discussions or follow the list development on the web if you prefer.</p>

73the clang type checker and verifier is quite close to complete (but not bug
74free!) for C and Objective C. We appreciate all reports of code that is
75rejected by the front-end, and if you notice invalid code that is not rejected
76by clang, that is also very important to us.</li>
