Hello, This sounds like a great idea for Gamma. How familiar are you with web development? In particular, do you have any experience with JavaScript?
I would also encourage you to look at the application template<https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2014-Application-Template> and also perhaps contribute to SymPy if you haven't already (as it is a requirement).
