According the numbers quoted ("~45 years, ~$50k income, ~$4,500 per life saved"), isn't it more like 50 lives rather than 100? In the linked GWWC article then it says $2,300 per life saved, not $4,500. I don't know which figure is correct, but it makes a difference by a factor of ~2.
I like this. Building on your idea with the yellow colour code, I think it would be good to have functionality to mark typos, with the option of providing a revision suggestion that the author can press accept or reject on. Similar to how edit suggestions work in Google Docs.
Regarding the prerequisites (differential calculus, linear algebra or statistics, programming) do you have any recommended resources for people who have studied these but are a bit rusty and want to revise the content before MLSS? Or a list of concepts or tasks that participants can use to check whether their understanding is at the required level? (e.g. "If you know the concepts X, Y and Z in linear algebra, and can write a program to solve task A and B, then you probably have enough background for MLSS.")

Small typo: "Furthermore, that same deworming program could give an extra year of healthy life FOR roughly $28-$70"
