<ul>
<li>The <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce">
LLVM Announcements List</a>: This is a low volume list that provides important
announcements regarding LLVM. It gets email about once a month.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">Developer's
List</a>: This list is for people who want to be included in technical
discussions of LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about
writing code for or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmbugs/">Bugs &
Patches Archive</a>: This list gets emailed every time a bug is opened and
closed, and when people submit patches to be included in LLVM. It is higher
volume than the LLVMdev list.</li>
<li>The <a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/">CVS Commits
Archive</a>: This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM
developers commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who
want to stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
volume.</li>
