51 mailing list is monitored by all the people in the LLVM group at Illinois, and

54 <li>Please read <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/docs/HowToSubmitABug.html">How
55 to submit a bug</a> for tips on how to track down bugs to their correct
56 originating component -- sometimes, it's a bug in external software and not in
57 LLVM, or for help with debugging your own LLVM passes and extensions.</li>
59 <li>We now use <a href="http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/bugs/query.cgi">Bugzilla</a> to
60 track bugs, so you can submit bugs and check their progress in real-time.</li>

143 <li><a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce">LLVM
144 Announcements List</a>
146 <p>This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding
147 LLVM. It is primarily intended to announce new releases, major updates to the
148 software, etc. This list is highly recommended for anyone that uses
151 <li><a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev">LLVM Developers
154 <p>This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions of
155 LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code for
156 or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.</p></li>
158 <li><a href="http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits">LLVM Commits
161 <p>This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
162 commit code changes to the CVS archive. It is useful for those who want to
163 stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
