Welcome Screen for 2.6.0

I wonder if we could have a video hosted on WordPress.tv explaining how to embed an activity and publish it into a buddypress.org activity and then embed this activity into the welcome screen using this function : wp_oembed_get()

[imath]

Here's a suggestion for the Activity embed feature:

If the user's WordPress is 4.5 or higher, we can try to embed an activity from buddypress.org. In the patch and to give you a better idea of what it could look like, i'm using ​this activity as i've just upgraded my test drive to latest trunk.
I've recorded a video demo (i've embedded into the activity) that you can find on ​my vimeo account. If what i'm saying in this video is not great, don't hesitate to send me a new text, i can always edit the sound of the video.

If WordPress version is < 4.5 or if getting the embed fails we fall back on ​this image

I've added some text, feel free to improve it!

Here's a preview of how it's looking like:

Ideally it would be great to have the video hosted on WordPress.tv, but according to the "Submissions" section of this ​page it can take 4 or 6 weeks to be validated! So another option would be to create a BuddyPress vimeo/youtube account and host the video on this account.

@mercime: Your images are great! I like user-frontpage.png; I'm a split decision on the group type images--maybe I like the pop version a tiny bit better?
@imath: Excellent video (very nice English :) ). I especially liked how you showed how to get the URL of the activity item. (I'm not sure that that's widely known.)

Structurally, are we thinking:
Primary point: activity embeds
Secondary points: user front template, group types
Under the hood: accessibility, internationalization, performance, notifications screens behavior improvements

Thanks @dcavins :)
