Why bother, AdaIC haas such a list, which has been continuously maintained 
for 10 years. (As the maintainer, I know this!). I just reorganized and 
updated it a month or so ago, getting rid of dead projects and making it 
easier to search.

Also, I highly recommend the Ada-wide search engine 
(http://www.adaic.org/ada-resources/ada-on-the-web/), which searches known 
Ada sites (and *only* known Ada sites) for information; it's easier to use 
than Google because you don't get large amounts of irrelevant information. 
(Of course, you won't find anything not known to us, but people that don't 
post here and don't send announcements to news@adaic.com don't want to be 
found, IMHO).

P.S. Volunteer efforts like AdaPower are great, but eventually the 
volunteers run out of steam and the sites become ancient. AdaHome, AdaPower, 
AdaWorld have all eventually became stale. AdaIC is run by the Ada Resource 
Association and they *pay* me to maintain it, so it gets maintained 
regularly.
