Pop up a random Ags Tidbit & Snippet or any other useful bit of code that may help us gamemakers who haven't devoured the entire manual.  :)

Thanks for your ideas so far, guys.

I think some sort of "Tip of the day" with a random hint such as "Did you know you can right-click and Go To Definition in the script editor" is a good idea, because there are a few features like Assign To View that most people don't seem to realise exist ;)

As for what else goes on the Start Page, there does seem to a bit of a split of opinions here.  I could just leave it as is with a list of new features but add a Tip of the Day, if that's what most of you want.

I'd go with popup tips...

I did like JPSoft's idea of a text file containing  notes such as todo lists or other handy info that would be useful to a developer.  Perhaps this is better done separately from the start page where a number of text files could be opened from within the editor.

I actually posted the idea in the suggestions thread for having a notes pane. I already made the icon for it and it can be found in the 3.0.2 Wishlist thread on page 2.
