+Welcome to LLVM!
+
+This file provides the location of all important LLVM documentation.  In
+particular, you should read the license information and the installation
+directions before you begin using LLVM.
+
+After that, there are several technical references that will help you use LLVM.
+Consult them as necessary.
+
+Finally, you can find information on how to communicate with the LLVM
+developers and LLVM community.  This is of primary interest if you wish to
+submit a bug, supply a patch, or just keep current with what's going on with
+LLVM.

+
+       Mailing Lists:
+               There are several mailing lists providing LLVM users with information:
+
+                       o LLVM Announcements List:
+                       http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce
+
+                               This is a low volume list that provides important announcements
+                               regarding LLVM.  It is primarily intended to announce new
+                               releases, major updates to the software, etc.  This list is
+                               highly recommended for anyone that uses LLVM.
+
+
+                       o LLVM Developers List:
+                       http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/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 low volume.
+
+                       o LLVM Commits List
+                       http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-commits
+
+                               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.
