The word I was trying to remember yesterday is chrestomathy.

People were talking about building program chrestomathy sites, or
related to but not quiet sites.

There are some links off of the wikipedia page to some places you can
explore to see if they meet your goals.

aggregator doesn't seem to be picking it up.
