Is there an easy way to get the list of registered users for use in a form? I want a list box to be populated with their usernames

Answer

See UserInfoPlugin. You may have to paste some HTML around it.

Or you can use a SEARCH:

<form name="testing" action="%SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%MAINWEB%" method="get">
<select name="topic">
<option>Select user...</option>
%SEARCH{ "Name:;Email:;Country:" web="%MAINWEB%" type="regex" nosearch="on" nototal="on" format="<option>$topic</option>" }%
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>

Which expands to this: (here limited to all Z* users because TWiki.org has so many)

This searches all topics in the Main web that contain "Name", "Email" and "Country" bullets. Alternatively, do a FormattedSearch with multiple="on" on the Main.TWikiUsers topic.
