Organized in 4 parts. The last two are the same as before: LLVM Docs and

Mailing Lists.  The first two are ""Getting Started" and "Getting Help."

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure
http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu
Welcome to LLVM!
-----------------
This file is intended to do four things:
(1) help you get started using LLVM;
(2) tell you how to get questions about LLVM answered;
(3) tell you where to find documentation for different kinds of questions; and
(4) tell you about three LLVM-related mailing lists.
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.
Getting Started with LLVM
-------------------------
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.
(1) For license information:
llvm/LICENSE.txt
Introductory Literature:
(2) Installing and compiling LLVM:
llvm/docs/GettingStarted.html
LLVM Home Page:
http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu
(3) Learn about features and limitations of this release:
llvm/docs/ReleaseNotes.html
License Information:
llvm/LICENSE.txt
(4) Learn how to write a pass within the LLVM system:
llvm/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.html
Release Notes:
llvm/docs/ReleaseNotes.html
(5) Learn how to start a new development project using LLVM, where your
new source code can live anywhere (outside or inside the LLVM tree),
while using LLVM header files and libraries:
llvm/docs/Projects.html

The LLVM Instruction Set and Compilation Strategy:
http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/pubs/2002-08-09-LLVMCompilationStrategy.html
Getting Help with LLVM
----------------------
(1) If you have questions or development problems not answered in the
documentation, send e-mail to llvmdev@cs.uiuc.edu. This mailing list is
monitored by all the people in the LLVM group at Illinois, and you should
expect prompt first responses.
(2) To report a bug, submit a bug report as described in the document:
http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/docs/HowToSubmitABug.html
(3) We now use Bugzilla to track bugs, so you can check the status of
previous bugs at:
<FIXME: WHERE DO THEY GO???>

are include as part of the LLVM release (in llvm/docs/*):

There are several mailing lists providing LLVM users with
information:
Mailing Lists
--------------
There are three mailing lists for providing LLVM users with information:
o LLVM Announcements List:
http://mail.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce
(1) 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.

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.
