11651,Welcome Screen concept,dd32,koopersmith,"I'd like to suggest a ""Welcome Screen"" concept for WordPress.

My initial thought is that its something that we could use to place the rarely viewed information about the release..

For example, Thickbox window covering 70% of the screen. Tabs along the top:
 * Welcome to x.y.z
   * Information about what has changed since last version (This would be activated after an upgrade for example)
   * A Quick ""Getting Started"" tutorial similar to #11008
 * WordPress Privacy
   * Quick Transparent overview of the Privacy guidelines WordPress follows with regard to data sent to the API, and what information WordPress exposes to visitors (Useless to most i realise, But its information some people require)
 * Server Information
   * This would have 2 sides to it:
   * Allows the user to retrieve a breakdown of server config which is useful when submitting a bug report
   * Gives an ""health-check"" overview of what the server is running, See #11466 for a few ideas.

The aim isnt to force the information down the users throat, mearly to remind them ''here's what we have, here's what you have, Now enjoy yourself.''

When would it be triggered:
 * When the admin first logs in on a new install
 * After an upgrade has taken place
   * Might want to customise the order of items for that compared to a new install?
 * If the user clicks on a conviently located link somewhere.. Perhaps in the footer? ",task (blessed),closed,normal,3.3,Administration,,normal,fixed,,masonjames sbressler@… aaroncampbell chacha102 sabreuse@… heymrpro@… xoodrew@… michael@…
