+:doc:`Projects`
+ How-to guide and templates for new projects that *use* the LLVM

+ Describes how the LLVM makefiles work and how to use them.
+
+:doc:`HowToReleaseLLVM`
+ This is a guide to preparing LLVM releases. Most developers can ignore it.

+
+Community
+=========
+
+LLVM has a thriving community of friendly and helpful developers.
+The two primary communication mechanisms in the LLVM community are mailing
+lists and IRC.
+
+Mailing Lists
+-------------
+
+If you can't find what you need in these docs, try consulting the mailing
+lists.
+
+`Developer's List (llvmdev)`__
+ 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.
+
+ .. __: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev
+
+`Commits Archive (llvm-commits)`__
+ This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM 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 LLVM development. This list is very high
+ volume.
+
+ .. __: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/
+
+`Bugs & Patches Archive (llvmbugs)`__
+ This list gets emailed every time a bug is opened and closed. It is
+ higher volume than the LLVMdev list.
+
+ .. __: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmbugs/
+
+`Test Results Archive (llvm-testresults)`__
+ A message is automatically sent to this list by every active nightly tester
+ when it completes. As such, this list gets email several times each day,
+ making it a high volume list.
+
+ .. __: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-testresults/
+
+`LLVM Announcements List (llvm-announce)`__
+ This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding
+ LLVM. It gets email about once a month.
+
+ .. __: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce
+
+IRC
+---
+
+Users and developers of the LLVM project (including subprojects such as Clang)
+can be found in #llvm on `irc.oftc.net <irc://irc.oftc.net/llvm>`_.
+
+This channel has several bots.
+
+* Buildbot reporters
+
+ * llvmbb - Bot for the main LLVM buildbot master.
+ http://lab.llvm.org:8011/console
+ * bb-chapuni - An individually run buildbot master. http://bb.pgr.jp/console
+ * smooshlab - Apple's internal buildbot master.
+
+* robot - Bugzilla linker. %bug <number>
+
+* clang-bot - A `geordi <http://www.eelis.net/geordi/>`_ instance running
+ near-trunk clang instead of gcc.
