django.contrib.staticfiles documentation issues

[Brian Neal]

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!
