The list is at atmel.pic.co.za  I also have an atmel list at egroups.com
As for compilers, I couldn't help you much there, I do it in assembler.
Jack Tidwell has a free basic compiler that's probably very good. (I've seen
his assembler :)
There is a rumour that digikey will carry the AVRs soon. At the moment, they
are only available through distribution.
