create a public/ folder and move wp and assets into

Wasn't a conscious decision, just overlooked. It's on our radar after being suggested by this guy:

Nice, that'd be awesome!

If you were to do this I think it'd be a good idea to talk about file permissions in the readme as it could end up causing problems for some users if they accidentally changed them.

Just a note that I've got a branch with this idea implemented: https://github.com/roots/bedrock/tree/web-folder

/cc @kennwilson as well :)

I agree with that opinion
web directory should be isolated from config files

[metalmatze]

Is there a reason to call the folder web/?

I think public/ is a more often used name, right?

[eastmanenator]

@metalmatze: you're right. it seems to me that the public is now more popular name... can be found in many projects on ruby, php - symfony, laravel

[swalkinshaw]

When public is used in frameworks like Rails, Symfony, and (I think) Laravel, it's for purely static files. Usually assets like JS, CSS, images. I went with web here because it's quite different than that. It still contains WP Core, plugins, themes, etc.

swalkinshaw is right, public usually refers to the static files that obviously the public can access, which you do not want for the WP core & plugins.

Closing as #32 has been merged in.
