[Radiant] Best practices for managing CSS, JavaScript, images?

[Timothy Jones]

Greetings,

I'm just ramping up on Radiant.   Apologies if I've missed this in a  
FAQ somewhere, but I'm looking for some recommendations on managing  
these types of assets on a Radiant-based site.  I found a mailing list  
thread from 2006, but it didn't seem to have a conclusion.

With non-Radiant sites I have Apache serve up these static files,  
bypassing Rails entirely.  What are the recommended best practices  
with Radiant?  I'd like to manage them through the web interface, so  
that other folks don't have to deal with Subversion, deployment, etc.

Do folks generally just embed the CSS and JavaScript in a layout and  
serve it dynamically?  And caching?

What about images (icons, backgrounds, etc.)?  I'd like a way to  
upload and delete them from a browser, again to avoid Subversion and  
deployment hassles.  It looks like the Gallery extension might work  
for this.  Any other recommendations?

Thanks!
