Well, there's a useful product that might spur some interest in Ada. 
Something similar to Open Office (which works fine for me - maybe it 
needs the next generation of hardware. That's part of the conspiracy 
between the hardware vendors and the software vendors.) would make a 
good product. But you're clearly talking about something way-big to build.
