Difference / similarities to CKAN? #5

This looks like a really interesting project and extremely inspiring to have a government entity fueling it and posting it to github.

It looks like this has some similarities with CKAN: http://ckan.org/ , both are written in python, both allow conversion of data to endpoints etc. Are there use cases in which you think this would make more sense than CKAN?

If you have some time, you might find the following netcast about Libre API interesting: http://twit.tv/show/floss-weekly/280

I believe Roberto Rosario addresses that very question within the first 5 minutes as he discusses the unique aspects of Libre and how it compares with similar tools (I believe CKAN is mentioned specifically).
