Just a timeline note— I see the draft above still has ongoing comments, and I haven't seen a design in progress yet, so we won't be committing anything before beta-3. I'm a little concerned about the timeline of getting the finished strings & layout before RC1 (as I need at least a day to get this into code, so ideally content+design would be ready by friday).
Although regarding design, if we flag which items in the doc will have images (or icons), I could just lay out the page in the code and skip needing to rebuild it in figma?

Kelly, here's the Figma layout in progress: https://www.figma.com/design/W6dOEbfBOv99iVih53emOg/6.6-Highlight-Grid-%26-Microsite?node-id=201-13875&t=G7dBVpnahznZHlEE-0
There's a lively discussion over there, and I have told @annezazu I am planning to scrap nearly all of the copy in the Google doc and write to the layout. For transparency I will post separate screenshots of the section with the applicable visuals in place, and get feedback on that. I'm doing the rewrite now and hope to have all of it up in the next three hours but will in any case post those sections one at a time so people can start reacting asap and you can start coding as you see fit.

The About page discussion is happening over on the gutenberg github. To sync with this ticket, the latest mockup can be found in this comment.
As far as I know, this copy is final, and we'll be using the Highlights, Performance, and Accessibility sections verbatim for the About page (this is what I will pull content from). I'll start building this out shortly and should have a patch later today. I would like to commit today, to avoid holding up release tomorrow.
There's still an open question about the copy for the final CTA (above the Learn callout) — this should lead readers to visit the longer release page on wp.org. So far, @joen has suggested the following, but needs feedback:
And much more

This PR introduces the new content for the 6.6 About page. This release, the About page will have just the highlights for 6.6, and link off to the release page on WordPress.org for the full overview. See https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-main-2022/issues/454 for the release page tracking. Also see https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/62631 for more discussion on this.

Based on feedback https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/62631#issuecomment-2187678287, I've combined the subheadings & paragraphs into one paragraph:

I missed the echo
for the button, so the link to the release page is not output.
<a href="<?php esc_url( __( 'https://wordpress.org/download/releases/6-6/' ) ); ?>" class="button button-primary button-hero"><?php _e( 'See everything new' ); ?></a>
We need another update for the images anyway, so this can be fixed then.
@joen What's the plan for the images here (core About page)? Are the images on the release page on w.org good, should I just grab those?

I have today updated the release site with final imagery and CSS tweaks. The individual features on the page are still to be replaced with videos, where the images present there at the moment will be video posters. I hope to have those in a more solid place later today.

Modifies the performance string to make the following changes:
- Replaces 6.6 with WordPress 6.6 for clarity
- Wraps
WP_Theme_JSON
in a code tag to matchdata-wp-on-async
styling - Updates translator comment accordingly

I noticed the performance improvements string had a couple of inconsistencies, so am re-opening the ticket.
- It referred simply to 6.6, elsewhere in the document it's always WordPress 6.6.
- Inconstant formatting of code.
I've linked a pull request to fix each of these issues.
I don't think either of these are blockers so feel free to close the ticket again if y'all decide these changes are not needed.

From @annezazu on this github issue
Was just coming here to connect those dots around performance numbers since we put 40% faster and now we're looking at 33%. @ryelle is this possible to update?
So I think we can go ahead with @peterwilsoncc's update & also change that "40" to "33", is that right @annezazu?

That's right! I will comment here going forward for any future changes. Apologies for making it hard by diffusing the convo.

Updates the performance improvements string with the finalized percentage improvement in the editor and to improve styling and language consistency.
Props ryelle, annezazu, peterwilsoncc.

[58671] looks good for backporting.
Please note that between now and RC 1, this ticket will get and commit copy, code and visual assets for the About Page.
The copy must commit by RC 1, which is the hard string freeze. Code and assets can come in over the following two weeks, but I would like to see everything committed by RC 3.
