== Detailed description ==
A standard directory (/usr/share/assets) for static bits that are intended to
be delivered to web browsers, such as CSS Frameworks, UI libraries, etc. will
be introduced. HTTP daemons in the distribution should make this directory
available publicly as /assets.
Minor comment: This copy of the text uses /assets ; the wiki page and
the proposed policy uses both /assets and /_assets ; this should be
cleared up.
More importantly, is it OK to just take over a part of the server's
URI namespace like this? If we do so, users won't be able to remap
the directory to something else without potentially breaking
Fedora-packaged applications. Are we satisfied enough that
(presumably) /_assets will not collide with existing applications or
installations? (Yes, this is already written in the proposal. I
still thought it is worth highlighting to make absolutely sure we have
this discussion, because changing the path would be very painful with
the current proposal.)
