Good start. At the OKFN we also started to collecting information about catalogues and competitions (simple google docs - both lists are not up to date right now) for future display at www.opengovernmentdata.org

Rufus actually mad the great proposal to use a ckan instance to maintain the data and then to visualize this on a map.

We might join forces here?

Best regards
