For now, you might want to put the in doc/glom/0.8.x/examples.

When I change the database structure of an example then I will change
its postgres name too. That means that the new structure will be created
if you open a new version of the example. But you should be able to open
your old version of the example without losing your data or structure
changes.

That brings up another thing: If doc/*/examples is not writable by the
user, then he won't be able to use developer mode to change the database
structure (e.g. to edit fields). But I can't think of a better place to
store the examples.
