I don't think you need to boot a new CKAN instance for US stuff, just
use <http://ckan.net/>.

You can always have create a 'group' to list just your datasets (and
can even lock down editing of 'your' data packages). I think this is a
lot simpler approach (and one we already use) than booting up an
entirely new instance. If it turns out an entirely separate instance
is needed you can always migrate data easily later.
