20712	staticfiles and serving post-processed files through development server	Mitar		"[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/staticfiles/ staticfiles app] allows custom storage. I have implemented a storage which [https://github.com/wlanslovenija/nodewatcher/blob/98525b82e410989c033301f755b1e180b7947662/nodewatcher/core/frontend/staticfiles/storage.py automatically compiles .scss files into .css files]. The issue that such post-processed files are not served when using staticfiles development server. I have to override `runserver` with core one to be able to serve the files I collect manually.

I think it would be useful to support such use cases as it would open window for further integration of static files (like bundling JavaScript into one and so on). While some are useful just for production, some are necessary while development as well."	New feature	new	contrib.staticfiles	1.4	Normal			mmitar@… daniele@…	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
