Adahome.com is sort of like that, but it is run by some company and hasn't been updated in forever. Maybe what you want is a wiki (like forthfreak.net used to be), but you'd have to do a lot of work getting it initially populated, before it became interesting enough to attract more contributors. It's very easy to suggest work for other people to do, but they all have their own projects already. I don't have much trouble finding any information that I want about Ada, e.g. with web searches. The challenge is in digesting and using the information, not in finding it. I don't see the proposed new web site as being much help. More helpful would be a systematic effort to reproduce or at least supply Ada bindings for the main toolsets that exist for other languages, to target popular microcontrollers, etc.
