That sounds like a plausible concept -- that some researchers would use an online tool to reformat
gel images and create databases. Many might not want their half-baked ideas on a public forum though.
For the ones that think public "as you go" is fine there could be benefits of having a range of image treatments
and analyses available. What would be in it for the developer though? Most web app providers
make money off their sites by subscriptions or ads.
Here is a fairly easy to operate web site for electronic symbols and footprints used by
designers along with the FOSS gEDA tool suite for making circuit boards:
I host a mirror of the site.
It uses cvs, the version control system, to work. Users ask for a password to be able to add content,
then they get a checked out copy of their section of the site, and after they make changes
they give the command cvs update to publish it. That requires a password saved in a special place on
your machine, and some familiarity with cvs. It's not as convenient as most web apps because of those details,
but that makes it easy to maintain, for a free service.
