At this point, as long as there’s a link to download 3.6, I don’t care if the entire page is collages of cartoon giraffes!

Maybe style the page with the Twenty Thirteen fonts to give it some character. That could be a cool thing to do for every year’s major releasemajor release A release, identified by the first two numbers (3.6), which is the focus of a full release cycle and feature development. WordPress uses decimaling count for major release versions, so 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, and 3.1 are sequential and comparable in scope. — style that version’s page like the default theme for that year.

The obvious things: Updated RevisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision., updated Menus, etc. 🙂

Emphasis on how the writing experience in WordPress has been improved, particularly with Autosave which is an awesome new feature but may not be entirely obvious.

Also worth talking about post locking which is great for multi-author blogs, & improvements to revisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update.

Is there any way translations can use their own set of (translated) screen captures?

How about including the “Introducing 3.6” video?

What I’m most excited about for 3.6 and I would like to see in the about page would be some instructions on how to use the new, awesome built-in audio and video players.

If it wouldn’t cause too much confusion, I’d also like a section on the page telling me where to get the Post UIUI User interface PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.

Links to useful codex pages that have to do with the use of new or different functions / features. Maybe some information on twenty thirteen.
