As a counterpoint: I'm not thinking of this as a marketing tool for
IPython notebooks. First and foremost it should be a useful repository
for scientific Python users. I also want to be able to mix examples
submitted as notebooks with examples from people who don't use the
notebook, in which case it would work like scipy-central currently
does.

In short: I see the notebook as a tool for this kind of site, not the
focus of it.
