I think it sounds very interesting. However at the moment there are not
many bindings to Gnome libs. I believe GtkAda are adding some bindings
to Gnome, but it would perhaps be better with a GnomeAda and keep GtkAda
as pure Gtk+? Then there are other things like XML, DB, applet etc... As
I now see one can make Gnome applets using AdaBroker, it would be very
nice to have a list to discuss how one can do this and get help. 

I would find such a group interesting, but perhaps it is better with a
mailinglist?
