One of the features in 3.0 that I am particular excited about is Dynamic Models (though they actually have been around since 2.9).  It allows changing the content model without having to restart the server.   While implemented to provide Multi-Tenancy capabilities, I am excited about it because it gets us much closer to having ability to have users create content models through UI.  In addition to dynamic modeling capability, you can now make some UI customizations, upload resource bundles, and add workflows, all without having to restart the server.  This is not only a great feature, but will save developers a lot of time.

To learn more about Dynamic Models, check out the wiki page, and for a quick overview – see this great Screencast that J.M. Pascal created showing the Dynamic Models functionality.  Check it out, as well as his blog in general – he has a bunch of fun presentation about some other Alfresco concepts as well!
