@ -57,11 +57,9 @@ In previous versions of Django, it was common to place static assets in
:setting:`MEDIA_ROOT` along with user-uploaded files, and serve them both at
:setting:`MEDIA_URL`. Part of the purpose of introducing the ``staticfiles``
app is to make it easier to keep static files separate from user-uploaded
files. For this reason, you will probably want to make your
:setting:`MEDIA_ROOT` and :setting:`MEDIA_URL` different from your
:setting:`STATIC_ROOT` and :setting:`STATIC_URL`. You will need to
arrange for serving of files in :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT` yourself;
``staticfiles`` does not deal with user-uploaded media at all.
files. Static assets should now go in ``static/`` subdirectories of your apps
or in "project-wide" static directories listed in :setting:`STATICFILES_DIRS`,
and will be served at :setting:`STATIC_URL`.
