Comment (by carljm):
I have some documentation improvements (hopefully!) here:
https://github.com/carljm/django/compare/master...staticfiles-docs
Some things I'm not satisfied with / sure about:
1. I think staticfiles actually needs to provide a little better help in
the area of serving MEDIA_URL in development than it currently does, which
will mean updating the doc I wrote for that. I'll look at that more and
perhaps file a separate ticket with a patch.
2. I believe the plan is to make a change so StaticFilesHandler is only
enabled if you put contrib.staticfiles in INSTALLED_APPS. Based on this, I
haven't added a backwards-incompatibility note in the release notes about
automatic serving of STATIC_URL, which I think would otherwise be needed.
In any case, if that change is made it will need to be mentioned in the
docs as well.
