The Wikimedia Research team uses both figshare (per Jonathan) and the datahub. The latter is open source and powered by CKAN, but it' s unfortunately unmaintained. Figshare has the benefits of providing full DataCite compliance and DOIs (Github is also a good option, specifically since they added DOI support). 

We're currently exploring other alternatives (such as Xenodo) but at the moment we're still using the above 2 options.

Hello all,

there is this initiative regarding the repository and description of the data base you may want to consider:
http://www.datafactories.org/
And I think Flossmole may be interested too, even if their primary target was FLOSS data, http://flossmole.org/
