There was an attempt in doing something like this for the CSEd community a few years back: http://www8.cs.umu.se/~dcer/index.html There are also a few papers about this, for example http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1404520.1404534 and if I'm correct there was also a few actual research papers produced

All, I prefer to think that somebody who knows more about statistics than me will find something significant that I missed: Willingness to Share Research Data Is Related to the Strength of the Evidence and the Quality of Reporting of Statistical Results

Hi all, IMO the most important things are to have: - permanently accessible URLs or other references (e.g. DOIs). For this it helps to choose a website or archive that you believe will last a long time. Github is great for software sharing but I don't see any reason to expect their URL

Lindsay, A couple of researchers I have contacted to obtain data told me that they have either lost it or did not make an effort to keep it. Having someplace that people could automatically upload their data to might help preserve more of it, as well as making life easier for other by cutting

Richard, There's the corresp() function in library(MASS) and Fionn Murtagh's code to go with his correspondence analysis book is available over the web. This is very common practice with R books. While playing with the data, I was struck by two prominent lines I kept seeing:
