This page is intended to complement and extend the docstring for the `notebook()` function in Sage, which is long and complicated enough as it is!

I don't know if this page will remain on the wiki, or get integrated into the official documentation.

The first and most important thing is to get rid of the unhelpful "search the web for help" bits and send users to this page.

I think we should have some more extended discussion of the examples from the notebook docstring here, particularly the options for running a public notebook server.

Here's an example of one thing that's probably better here than in the docstring: the `timeout` parameter is useful if you find that your server is running out of memory, or seriously bogging down with multiple users. Setting a nonzero timeout will kill idle sessions that are needlessly using memory. See [[http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support/browse_thread/thread/6735e88260cc079/|this sage-support thread]] (and particularly kcrisman's comments).
