[mezzanine-users] Re: serve media files on my local development server
Since Stephen's changes and my last git pull, the media files won't served
anymore on a default project. Can anyone confirm this?

someone is wondering what to do with files that don't belong to any app,
this is what I do:
1. Create assets/ (or whatever you want to name it) in your project
root. Dump your general purpose static resources there.
2. In settings.py define STATICFILES_DIRS =
(os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, assets),). This will tell Django to see
assets/ as a valid location for static files.
3. Access your files in the templates. For example, assets/style.css
will be accessed by {% static style.css %}.
Just my two cents :)

Now I made a local revert of
https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/commit/67aaae401fe47c55960236c8f3472f2d4c16e3d0
and everything works. Don't know what happened.
