 * According to [this ticket comment](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21770#comment:1)
   by a WordPress dev, the WordPress core “feature pointers are designed only for
   internal pointers.”
 * I would like to know if the WordPress team or other devs have alternative recommendations
   for alerting WordPress users of new plugin features. Thanks!

 * Hey sblomberg, we developed a Plugin called Custom Pointers [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-pointers/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-pointers/)
 * It allows you an alternative way of creating Pointers to show users new things
   about WordPress (more specifically to TRAIN them by creating an interactive tutorial).
 * Is that what you’re talking about?
