They're scientists, not programmers. They may do programming as part of their job, but that's generally not what they're interested in. In other words, you (or someone else) will have to make it for them because it's unlikely they'll do it themselves unless shit gets really bad.
I do think that there are Scientists who like programming. What I would see as a hurdle is that this would be a rather big project, so you will have to ask a lot of people. And generally many people would have to be convinced to use this system. A little bit like social Networks: If noone uses it, it is not interesting.
