    * gkronber: I think this is an important point because potential new users can be scared off within one minute if HeuristicLab doesn't have a few simple entry points to begin experimenting. One idea that comes to mind is to open a 'starter document' that has just 3 or 4 large buttons that activate a few basic entry points (e.g. "Genetic Algorithm: Optimize Tours", "Evolution Strategy: Find Minimum of Real-Valued Functions", "Show List of all Demos", "Load Algorithm From File"). Maybe we add an opt-out button for this starter screen. Sure a wizard of the kind "Solve your problem in 4 steps" would be nice but is probably not really necessary.
    * swagner: In a discussion with maffenze it was decided to show a "Start Page" when the optimizer is started that contains initial information how to use HeuristicLab and how to create new algorithms and problems.
+   * swagner: A start page has been implemented in r3202. Is this enough to guide new users? Should there be any additional or other information shown on the start page?

 First of all: I would regard a user manual with first steps (shall I first create a new TSP or create a new SGA and how can they be combined...) as very important, for me at the first sight it was not really clear how to start. 
+ * swagner: A start page was added in r3202 which is shown when the optimizer is started. What do you think about it? Is it helpful when starting to work with HeuristicLab? Which additional information should be shown?

- * The new dialog should also react on double clicks on the description column, if this is possible.
