Note that we’re talking here about the internals and the development of the library, not really about “how to use it", for instance we have a mailing list for people not interested in the development of clang: http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-users <http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-users> (i.e. users).
