+Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM)
+================================
 
-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 directory and its subdirectories contain source code for the Low Level 
+Virtual Machine, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers,
+optimizers, and runtime environments. 
 
+LLVM is open source software. You may freely distribute it under the terms of
+the license agreement found in LICENSE.txt.
 
-Getting Started with LLVM
--------------------------
-
-(1) For license information:
-    llvm/LICENSE.txt
-
-(2) Installing and compiling LLVM:
-    llvm/docs/GettingStarted.html
-
-(3) Learn about features and limitations of this release:
-    llvm/docs/ReleaseNotes.html
-
-(4) Learn how to write a pass within the LLVM system:
-	llvm/docs/WritingAnLLVMPass.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
-
-
-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:
-    http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/bugs/query.cgi

-Mailing Lists
---------------
-There are three mailing lists for providing LLVM users with information:
-
-(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.
-
-(2) 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 relatively low volume.
-
-(3) 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.
