Open up a pointer on revision.php, probably pointing at the slider itself, to explain how cool it is.
And by explain I mean brag.

24832.diff Tooltip for revisions, and tooltip for post lock icon. Also, new feature, if defer_loading
is set for a pointer, it will actually keep looking for the selector once every 3 seconds until it appears. That way pointers can respond to things that aren't there on initial load.

24832.4.diff looks pretty good.
How about a pointer on Add Media for audio/video embeds?

About page videos in various sizes:
- 3.6-about-480x272.m4v.zip
- 3.6-about-640x360.m4v.zip
- HD version which was too big to upload
Let me know if you want any modifications.

24832.6.diff has copy updates for "under the hood" on the about page.

24832.7.diff is a tweak on the shortcodes section. I was trying to pull out the filter name because it looked overly technical, especially next to all the other sections.

Just looking for a quick sample video that is both available for us to use (this one was shot by Mullenweg, so it is), and not language-specific.

Two options for the revisions screenshot:
1) about-revisions.png is a static crunched png.
2) about-revisions.gif is a two state animated gif.

ah, i see; thought we were getting that full 'introducing 3.6' video.

3.6-revisions-wizard-fixed.png is a new screenshot for revisions, riffing on lessbloat's one.

24832.10.diff Implements the screenshots and a working video player. I had to mess with the CSS rules which up until this point were only expecting us to use images on this page.

Looks like image-66 is a bit wide for the video. So I added this:
.about-wrap .feature-section .video.image-66 { max-width: 600px; }
I don't really feel like figuring out what CSS to remove, but my suggestion would be to just style this particular video, rather than adding the .video class throughout. In general the about page CSS can be adjusted a bit each version, with ease, depending on what we need. (Which is why I don't mind the change above.)

24832.11.diff looks good to me down to 600px wide (min width of admin)
Regarding the image-66 CSS, I'm fine with it but my worry is that we'll forget to take it out when it's not needed and we'll slowly accumulate cruft.

24832.12.diff — can't get it to work in IE 8 or IE 7 (which lack video support and should fall back to Flash/Silverlight). But the SAME code works in the theme. What's going on here?

3.6-about-640x360-iphone.mp4 is a reëncoded version of the file that works on iOS. The previous one did not — maybe because of too high of a bitrate, or a codec issue. I verified that this mp4 version does.
Also have to get Lance's updated screenshot in.

Two issues:
- Our about.php responsiveness can cut off the videos really easily. Being looked at by MarkJaquith.
- Opera 12 fails to load ogv on first try — specifically limited to MediaElement.js. But, it works fine in Opera 15 (Chromium). Fixing the about page to only send mp4 to Opera, but otherwise leaving things alone. 24832.13.diff (See lengthy IRC conversation)
I can think of up to two more:
That's all I can think of. I'm a no for one for the menus screen. The revamp isn't really "under the hood", nor is it a big feature. It's a slightly improved UX. Better to just let people adapt to it. If it needs an explanation with a pointer, I feel like we kind of failed in a desire to simply streamline the existing interface.
