Description

While reading the docs for this new app and trying to understand it, I've found some minor documentation type issues.

  1. Here it says AppDirectoriesFinder looks in a static directory. But here it says the command looks in a media directory.
  2. Here the 2nd paragraph just abruptly ends ("the findstatic command can help show you where").
  3. Here the second example has misspelled "example.com".
  4. The note under here has some sphinx markup mistakes ("When using the :class:AppDirectoriesFinder`")
  5. Do you want to mention the staticfiles application in this section of the docs?

And maybe this is out of scope for a typo only ticket, but I for one would appreciate some guidance or background on this application and how it relates to MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL. Maybe stress that MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT are for files users upload, while staticfiles handles static media for apps (assuming I've correctly interpreted the purpose correctly). I assume this app is trying to solve the problem of getting app media mixed up with user uploaded media?

Thanks!
