Totally agree! At Qri (https://qri.io) we're working on many of these problems together - hosting, formatting (interoperability), provenance and sync. It's an open source project - we'd love to have your feedback as we design it!

This is cool and is a perfect case for IPFS for public datasets. I've not heard of it before, though, and I think naming / branding is something that makes finding these things / building momentum more difficult.
For example, someone else mentioned engima.com. I would have no idea that is related to data sources / sets unless I knew what it was.
Certainly wish you the best of luck though and will keep an eye on Qri! Cool project!
Thanks! you can follow us on twitter where we announce most updates: @qri_io

That looks interesting. IPFS backed -- nice.
A web interface would be nice so that I don't have to install a tool to browse the content. Going to give it a shot non-theless.

Hmm: "Qri backend is unavailable". Going to come back tomorrow.
Hey! thanks for checking us out. If you are still having trouble, please head over to our github (http://www.github.com/qri-io/frontend) and I'd be happy to help out.
You would be doing us a huge solid, working through these use cases irl is beyond helpful.
