Description (last modified by )
Currently the GettingStarted panel shows some program news and very basic tips for the OSM project. To make this panel more helpful for daily mapping, I propose:
- to add frequently used actions (especially download tasks)
- to display recently used files
- (to display files in a preconfigured OSM data folder?)
- …

Klumbumbus, thank you for the feedback. I think you are right: there's no (big) gain (at all) with the buttons added. Let's keep it open till end of 15.11 development and close it unless someone comes up and likes the changes. :)

Replying to simon04:
The logo can be added to StartupPage …
I just tried it. While in wiki it worked fine, it didn't in JOSM. The right parameter didn't work in JOSM, so I reverted the change. Any ideas, how to display the logo on the right side?

This is due to float: right not being interpreted by Swing, see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/text/html/CSS.html
Alternatively, a table could be used (left column for the next, right column for the logo) – back to the old times where tables have been used for layouting :)
Maybe editing wiki:StartupPage requires less changes than wiki:StartupPageSource

Why do we need the software logo on the start page at all? It's on the splash screen.

I thought it would make the startup page a bit friendlier and helps to actually see the finer parts of the logo. However maybe it is not so usefull on smaller screens.
Hm, I don't see a real necessity for this. The Download button is already there. If you wish special download options (overpass, download object), you can place their buttons in the toolbar as well. "Open recent", ok this would save 2 clicks, but I think that the majority does not work with local files, but only with fresh downloaded osm data. In the end the start screen looks also more cluttered. But thats just my personal opinion.
