+Serving of static and media files
+---------------------------------
+
+Out of the box, project templates will configure ``/static/`` as base URL for
+static files, and ``/media/`` as base URL for media.
+
+Root directories for locating static and media files are set-up to point to
+parent directory of project (so, one level up from ``manage.py``), in
+directories ``assets/static/`` and ``assets/media/``.
+
+As an example, in case you create project in ``~/tmp/``, you would have
+structure similar to:
+
+- ``~/tmp/myproject/``
+- ``~/tmp/myproject/manage.py``
+- Many other files and directories under ``~/tmp/myproject/``
+- ``~/tmp/assets/static/``
+- ``~/tmp/assets/media/``
+
+This way you can keep the assets (static and media files) outside of the project
+code tree.
