DataPortals.org is the most comprehensive list of open data portals in the world. It is curated by a group of leading open data experts from around the world - including representatives from local, regional and national governments, international organisations such as the World Bank, and numerous NGOs.
The alpha version of DataPortals.org was launched at OKCon 2011 in Berlin. We have plenty of useful improvements and features in the pipeline, which will be launched over the coming months.
If you have an idea for something you think we should add, please let us know via the form. If you're interested talking to other people interested in open government data, you can join the open-government list or follow #opendata on Twitter.

The main list internationally (no need to replace/start another one) High quality/accurate
- I want to add a data catalog

Google Docs spreadsheet as DB
Could evolve this in future ... UI in pure JS + HTML (could go nodejs route if we want SEO / real HTML) Pure JS: http://datacatalogs/catalog/#{id}
Groups could still work if you want them …. http://datacatalogs.org/group/#{group-id}
Contributing
Google form for new catalogs
Could have something for corrections … (comments for a specific catalog)
Need moderators / editors to review …
Revise fields that we need DCAT compliant (yes/no) Metadata license
All existing URLs would still work (via redirect)
All data downloadable Data as RDF (not that hard but a bit of work …)
