Hello Mark,

·         If it will use CKAN or something similar?

Nope. The company Logica will develop data.gouv.fr's own portal. As far as
we know, eZPublish has been chosen as CMS and the proprietary software
Exalead as database and search engine.

 ·         When it might be launched?

It's supposed to be by the end of the year, probably end of december

Good question, we ask the same but didn't get any real answer on the matter
yet even if we know that at least 4 databases/projects at Bercy (Budget &
Finances ministers) are working on these maters : one provides financial
report of the public finance bill discused in the parlement, two are ERP
project and a least one is the equivalent of the COINS database. To be
continued, but I believe we probably won't know much before the release, and
it's possible there won't be much made available at first...

This isn't really clear either yet, but promises have been made to use open
interoperable  formats. As for using IATI, I guess that would be a further
step that  you may have to overcome yourself from whatever format will be
used at  first.
