Most science (that really needs hackers' help) is not the big sexy datasets, but the really basic HTML5/CSS viewable graphs otherwise done in Excel. But it must be done in a scientifically rigorous way (retain units and labels, be able to manipulate those units, and be able to show/hide data between different datasets).
Think a way to download and view a melting point curve dataset without ANY user configuration. Or an enzyme activity curve. Or a drug dosage response curve. VERY basic data, but it must be able to maintain and interpret a label and a unit in addition to the number itself.
