user request: put link to example notebooks in Dashboard

[pleabargain]

Greetings
As a new user to Ipython I figured that there must be example notebooks somewhere... but it took me quite some time to find them.

Please consider putting a link in the dashboard to the example notebooks that ship with Ipython.

thank you,
Dennis

Hi,

This poses the problem that depending on the system where IPython is installed the docs/example might not be in the same directory, and also that there are no way (yet) to change the server cwd when it has started.

But this is something we consider for when the dashboard will be able to browse file system.

We can't do this, even when we have navigation, because the example notebooks aren't part of the install. It's possible when running from the source tree, but not for any regular users.
