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

162List</a>
163
164<p>This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
165commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to
166stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
