19680	"""STATIC_ROOT"" directory usage is unclear in ""settings.py"""	retail79174@…	nobody	"In Django 1.3.4 at least, the default ""settings.py"" contains comments for the multitude of variables related to the handling of static files, but does not clarify their relationship (and help teach the newcomer about the command) by mentioning 
    manage.py collectstatic
Please change the comment on ""STATIC_ROOT"" to include text of the form:
Before starting your Django server, you must execute the command ""manage.py collectstatic"",
which will copy all the static files found into this directory.  If you later change
the static files, you must re-execute that command."	Uncategorized	closed	Core (Management commands)	1.4	Normal	wontfix	settings collectstatic		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	1	0
