Just curious what kind of view / information people are using for their starting view. I have used a variety of different layouts, some with basically zero information, others with everything imaginable. I have found that it is not a great place to communicate with a team, as team members often over look the starting view and dig right into their projects.
Feel free to post a screen grab of your starting view (photoshop out any logos or whatever if necessary)
Below is the Autodesk 'Basic Sample Project' starting view. It uses a sheet view, which is nice because it allows for multiple views / schedules to come together. The ? icon is nice but a little cumbersome as the initial instinct is to double click, which edits the family, not take you to the resource.

Within my company, each discipline has their own take on starting views (at the moment).
Attached is the Mechanical discipline's approach. It is a sheet based approach which includes a basic team listing & is heavy on the notes. Included is a schedule for the User Flag they utilize to track issues

Another within my company... this time Electrical.
There starting view is a very basic drafting view with model setup information and that is it.

One from a previous company.... Multi-Discipline Template / Starting View. Utilizes the sheet approach. Provided some standard codes, team information & change log for the template in fine print as well as an area for project / team information. This area was rarely utilized very well across the disicplines / teams
