I don't ever recall launching one. I certainly have one that I wrote and
use but I long ago decided that the costs are too large as you say - unless
you get a lot of users (so you can cover costs) then it is a big hassle.
In some ways I agree that the market will decide - but on the other hand
for people searching for data the fewer repositories the better. eBird for
better or worse seems to be the place that people use - I used to upload
from my own app to Eremaea - since eBird came in I have yet to figure out
how to upload data but no doubt I will at some stage....
And as others have pointed out the way this project was "launched" by what
I regard as spam is offensive.
