Media
Media for the readme website is stored in one of two places: static/ or media/.
static/
This contains only a few images. These are not user uploaded content but rather images the website needs to display. This includes images for the favicon, and some logo images for a few of the pages.
media/
This is where the vast majority of all of the media we have is stored. All of the media in here is user uploaded through the Django Admin interface.
author_images
These are the profile pictures for all of the authors.
When you upload an author profile picture foo.png it is stored in media/author_images/foo.png.
Magazine PDFs
The pdfs of the print version of the magazine are renamed on upload, so it does not matter what you call them.
For vol X issue Y the pdf is named CMURREADME_VOLX_ISSUEY.pdf.
It is stored in media/volX/issueY/CMURREADME_VOLX_ISSUEY.pdf.
Article Images
Article images are not renamed on upload it does matter what you call them, don't name them something stupid.
When you refrance an image bar.png in an article you do by writting {{bar.png}} in the article body where you want the image to appear.
For the image bar.png that was published in vol X issue Y it is stored in media/volX/issueY/images/bar.png.
