Comment (by ryelle):

 In the last release, we had [https://wordpress.org/download/releases/6-7/
 the "microsite" (a page on wordpress.org) for the release]. This page has
 the full "About" content, including feature videos. The About page bundled
 in core had a subset of this content, and static images.

 I've opened an issue to [https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-
 main-2022/issues/549 track changes on the WordPress.org site]. This
 includes:

 - Update the homepage "See what's new" blurb & image which directly
 reference 6.7
 - Build the release page: once we have content, I can work with someone
 (maybe a designer) to build up the page in the editor. We can coordinate
 that on GitHub.

 Typically I've aimed to commit a "final draft" of the About content for
 beta 3, so ideally it would be finished by beta 2 to allow for dev time.
 This cycle, that's **March 11**. This date is flexible, the hard deadline
 is **RC1 (March 25)**. Image assets can also be added later, provided they
 don't need any alt text, so design is a bit more flexible too. That said,
 earlier is better! I'm happy to code this, also happy to just review &
 commit 🙂
