[IPython-dev] improve http://nbviewer.ipython.org/

[W Gong]

as a new user, I like to learn from examples or best practices:
To support a similar request by another new user Dennis,

can someone :
1) add "http://nbviewer.ipython.org/" to Help menu
2) make user submitted .ipynb visible at nbviewer.ipython.org
Currently this website is like a blackhole, you know what you submitted by
yourself, but you cannot see submission by others (except just 3 all the
times)

By the way, who owns and maintains nbviewer.ipython.org?

Thanks,

Wen
