Making your own "new Feature" window

Been having some trouble reaching out to the users with our own "new releases" and the information about our own fixes and new functionality. Looking at the community I realized that I wasn't alone with this problem. Today people are getting flooded with information through email so we threw that idea out the window. We also tried to publish the releases with knowledge articles, but the success hasn't been overwhelming.

So now I was thinking that perhaps we should do like ServiceNow and throw up a popup windows when user logs in. And this is how I did it.

Request Clone... What do I get for my 10 cents?

After we went live and pretty much did our first clone we started to wonder if there wasn't anything else to configure about this cloning business.

Now after have been cloning a bit more and even a lot more when trying to see if the new configuration for cloning is working which is a pretty good work speed since your clone isn't closer than 4 hours away =)
