Perhaps, but actually we're more likely to find programmers with (relatively) 
little math experience.  This is just a hunch, but I bet the notebook, 
especially since it can be used for python, might be more appealing to that 
crowd.  I know there are mathematicians there as well, but we could probably 
find more people with strong webapp development skills through this effort than 
math skills.  Hence, I think the notebook (or similar--perhaps porting to 
Windows?) should be emphasized.  I don't know how to do that in 200x200 px 
though. :-)
