I might just be misunderstanding something, but there seems to be conflicting info in the static directory on the project template

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(TOP_DIR, 'static')
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(TOP_DIR, 'uploads')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

A few things here:

* Main thing: The template contains /static/ at the root as the primary static directory. But the template seems to suggest that /apps/mainsite/static is where css and js should go. Is this a mistake or am I misunderstanding the purpose of these folders?
* Why does /media/ exist? What should go in there? Or is that supposed to be irrelevant now?

I think all of these should be resolved either through better documentation or patches.
