http://reviews.llvm.org/ and its command line interface, Arcanist.
:doc:`HowToSubmitABug`

in the LLVM system.
:doc:`BugLifeCycle`

Projects
HowToReleaseLLVM

HowToAddABuilder
ReleaseNotes
:doc:`Projects`
How-to guide and templates for new projects that *use* the LLVM
infrastructure. The templates (directory organization, Makefiles, and test
tree) allow the project code to be located outside (or inside) the ``llvm/``
tree, while using LLVM header files and libraries.
:doc:`HowToReleaseLLVM`
This is a guide to preparing LLVM releases. Most developers can ignore it.
:doc:`ReleaseProcess`
This is a guide to validate a new release, during the release process. Most developers can ignore it.
:doc:`HowToAddABuilder`
Instructions for adding new builder to LLVM buildbot master.
:doc:`Packaging`
Advice on packaging LLVM into a distribution.
:doc:`Release notes for the current release <ReleaseNotes>`
This describes new features, known bugs, and other limitations.
.. _mailing-lists:
Mailing Lists
-------------
If you can't find what you need in these docs, try consulting the mailing
lists. In addition to the traditional mailing lists there is also a
`Discourse server <https://llvm.discourse.group>`_ available.
`Developer's List (llvm-dev)`__
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.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev
`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.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/
`Bugs & Patches Archive (llvm-bugs)`__
This list gets emailed every time a bug is opened and closed. It is
higher volume than the LLVM-dev list.
.. __: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-bugs/
`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.llvm.org/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.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce
.. _online-sync-ups:
Online Sync-Ups
---------------
A number of regular calls are organized on specific topics. It should be
expected that the range of topics will change over time. At the time of
writing, the following sync-ups are organized:
