That's exactly the problem with web homes: they need lots of
maintenance.
Once the time for it is gone, they become ghost homes - to begin with
dead links...
I could cite around 4-5 absolutely definitive enthusiastic "Ada homes"

The wiki's Manuel is citing are in a better shape because of a better
concept.
Other good places to chase resources are also non Ada-centric sites:
