While not trying to "pimp" my own stuff I'd like to add http://drumbeatinsight.com to the list. It is a small set of components that covers what I think were missing most from the V2 components.

The XP Components documentation is mostly autogenerated (from code) with AS2DOC and while it describes the classes' methods and properties fairly well, IT HAS VIRTUALLY NO CODE EXAMPLES! That annoys heck out of me; just *one* simple this-is-how-you-instantiate-XP-Component-from-custom-class example would have made my day (or, two weeks, rather). Instead all examples use their xp.system.Application.Run() mehtod. Perhaps this means that's the only way to use them, but why? They're in Hong Kong, I think.
