I think we should just require that root installation is writable as well as /assets
We could even move the config.php inside that /assets to make it easier. BTW, a little off topic, but what about renaming the assets to sites and inside default which would contain the contents of the assets folder. This would fit the structure more of how we are headed with multi-sites, but where default would be the generic stuff across sites. Another name could be global which might be more accurate. Anyway, its more common to have a ROOT/config.php and ROOT/uploads or ROOT/images or ROOT/wp-content in installations that is not required by default to be writable. For installation we can just make sure that config.php is written, then if one goes to admin upload, if the sites/global/uploads is not writable, then make it so. Another approach is the first time you create a site, we create ROOT/config.php and take the default installation name of the site and create a skeleton folder hierarchy like: ROOT/sites/my_site_name that sits alongside ROOT/sites/global Thoughts? Heya, if one can make config.php and set their directory to be writable, then setting a folder to be writable also should not be too hard.
