[ckan-discuss] First post...

Hi all.
First post here. Please be gentle...
A few questions at first, please?

1. I am from the US, and wondered if there were any instances
underway or in planning from the United States?
(I went through the list, and at first thought the last one said Open
Data Alabama, but upon clearer vision, eyes not what they used to, it
said Albania. That was a joke.)

2. Is there a cms or blog engine incorporated into ckan?
I notice that when you go to login at the ckan site, it takes you to a
wordpress login.
Is wordpress the blog of choice of ckan?

3. I have been a longtime fan of data.gov.uk.
When I check source on their site, they make use of apache solr.
Is this useage of solr incorporated into ckan automatically, or their
own choice as addition?

4. Also, on the data,gov.uk site, they use mediawiki as their wiki software.
This is also done via or in conjunction with ckan, or no?

Thanks for any answers possible.

Great week and weekend, all.
