Don't get me wrong. I enjoy every new site devoted to Ada. What sometimes bothers me is the abandonment of sites just because the only one maintainer looses interest, which is also legitimate. Therefore I think that more collaborative approaches are useful, because there is always someone who can continue the effort. By the way, I see there are two authors collaborating in adarocks.com according to the post list [1]. That is good.
