Great idea! I regularly turned to Guy Laden's nice overview of BB based
code on the internet, but unfortunately his site is no longer on line. His
overview could be a starting point for a component repository, if it could
be retrieved again.

I think it should depend upon which scope the User Group would choose.
Now that there are more than one Component Pascal compilers (cf. Gardens
Point Component Pascal on .NET) the wider scope is an option and the latter
name is preferable. On the other hand, if we would confine ourselves to
BlackBox a name like BBoxUG is less "buggy".
