Comment (by jane):

 If someone other than Koop wants to drop in text and positioning, here are
 the pointers:


 '''New Feature: Toolbar'''[[BR]]
 We've combined the admin bar and the old Dashboard header into one
 persistent toolbar. Hover over the toolbar items to see what's new.
 ''If Multisite, add:'' Network Admin is now located in the My Sites menu.
 ''Placement: on Dashboard Home, under toolbar, mid-right side.''

 '''New Feature: Flyout Menus'''[[BR]]
 Instead of clicking to open and close navigation sections, just hover over
 a menu item and the submenu will "fly out" to the side, allowing single-
 click access to any screen.
 ''Placement: on Dashboard Home, to right of left-hand menu, just above
 mid-level so it doesn't feel crowded with admin bar pointer.''

 '''Updated Media Uploader'''[[BR]]
 The single media icon now launches the uploader for all file types, and
 the new drag and drop interface makes uploading a breeze.
 ''Placement: on Add New Post or Add New Page, pointing at the icon, can be
 placed below or to the right, whichever is easier/looks better.''

 '''New Feature: Saving Widgets''' [[BR]]
 If you change your mind and revert to your previous theme within 30 days,
 we'll put the widgets back the way you had them.
 ''Placement: on Themes after activating a new theme, pointing up at the
 'go change your widgets' alert from below, aligned with left edge of
 widget alert text. Note: would be fine leaving this one off if it's too
 complicated to tie it to the alert instead of just opening the screen.''
