Make the intro to dashboard tutorial more explicit?

The intro to the dashboard tutorial is "In this tutorial you will learn how to transform a blockr workflow into a dashboard you can share with others.". Could it also state

• what dashboard we want to build in this example. what do we want users to be able to do with the penguins data? do we expect to be non R users?
• that building a dashboard, in the blockr framework, "just" means moving, resizing and hiding windows.

This way it'd feel natural that the tutorial begins by showing you how to move windows.

In the video there's the word "view" I think. It's great. Building the dashboard simply means altering the view to make it fit a different audience than ourselves.

" let's remove the dataset window"

This should clarify this means hiding the window, because the block is still there.

Can one freeze a dashboard view? I mean, can it be read only regarding the layout, so that users can't resize windows etc? @christophsax

Rewrote the dashboard tutorial intro to state that we're building a penguins exploration dashboard, and that "building a dashboard" in blockr means rearranging, resizing, and hiding windows.

Dashboards are now called 'apps', and 'apps' can contain multiple 'views'. This should become clearer by the end of the week, David is working on this.
