## Mailing Lists

[Developer's List (flang-dev)](http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/flang-dev)

  This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions related to Flang. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code
  for or using the Flang tools. It is relatively low volume.


[Commits Archive (flang-commits)](http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/flang-commits)

  This list contains all commit messages that are made when Flang developers
  commit code changes to the repository. It also serves as a forum for
  patch review (i.e. send patches here). It is useful for those who want to
  stay on the bleeding edge of Flang development. This list is high
  volume.
