Setting aside "real" lives for the cause:

http://simcosmos.planetaclix.pt/, SimCosmos, perhaps better known as Antonio Maia.  Orbiter enthusiast and skilled add-on developer.

http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/, the amateur's information center on NASA's activities (often imitated, never duplicated...to the www.nasa.gov website like the Apple is to the PC.)  Founded by Chris Bergin, dwarfs After Columbia.

http://www.dunnspace.com , I think this really is his "real" life; come here for information on how to build economical single-use launch vehicles (in reality, or in Orbiter.)

The Da Vinci Project: http://www.davinciproject.com, This is an amateur project because it is staffed by a volunteer crew.  The Da Vinci Project is an X-prise contender and thankfully, has provided a prodigious amount of technical information on their spacecraft.

Space Island Group: http://www.spaceislandgroup.com, surprisingly similar to After Columbia Project, only bigger, doing for commerce what After Columbia is doing for amateurs and sims.

Integrated Time Line:  After Columbia planned, but then abandoned in favour of our current mode, an integrated time line to correllate videos, audios, and timelines together into a single document.  Fortunately, CBS' William Harwood had done so:  http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/107_Entry_TimelineJ.html
