I have just started using CKAN in this way and think it has potential. See

I know some of the Open Repositories community - I think that we might get
a reasonable turn-out. We would not deliberately limit it to science but I
think science is easier to start off with. My personal interests would
include:

* problems of legacy data formats
* adding structure to semi-structured data
* indexing,particularly domain-specific information

I am interested and happy to work with others who want to present something
