AmigaMail(tm) is the Commodore-Amiga Developer's Newsletter (published bi-monthly
now, I believe). You can subscribe to it for about $20 (see Carolyn's recent message
in comp.sys.amiga on developer support materials).

>(2) Do you *have* to have access to BIX in order to be in the Working Groups?

No, you do not and I don't believe this is implied in the document. I would
recommend it though, as much activity related to working groups will likely
occur there.

To become a "Certified Developer" costs $50 a year, and includes a subscription
to AmigaMail. Again, please refer to Carloyn's recent posting.

AmigaMail is our bimonthly Amiga developer newsletter.  It is mailed to
all registered developers.

>(2) Do you *have* to have access to BIX in order to be in the Working Groups?

Day-to-day discussions and plans will probably take place where the major
players in the group have accounts.  I would imagine if a particular
group all had uucp access, then uucp could be used.

All CATS support materials (except for Gamma materials) may be purchased
by anyone.  To become a registered developer, you must be developing
a salable product for the Amiga, or be the head of a user Group, head of
a university department, or an industry vip.  You must fill out a developer
application and apply for admittance to either the Certified program 
or the Commercial program.  There are yearly fees for each program.
