Dispatch manages certain directories (folders) within your web site, specifically the dated issue folders and the "current" folder. Each dated folder contains a unique issue and all of its files (stories and images). The "current" folder always contains a copy of the latest issue in your publication. A typical directory tree created by Dispatch looks like this:
/2000-02-01/ All of the dated folders have the format of yyyy-mm-dd, which is year-month-date. "2000-02-01" contains all of the files for the issue of February 1, 2000. "2000-02-08" contains the files for the issue of February 8, 2000, and so on. The "current" folder always contains a copy of the latest issue in your publication. In this case, the "current" folder contains a copy of the "2000-03-01" folder, which is the latest issue in this example. This is a common directory structure for online publications and hopefully one you are already familiar with.
Dispatch manages all of the folders we have discussed so far. Beyond that, you are free to create whatever additional folders you would like. For example, you will probably create a folder named "images" that will house all of the common images throughout your site, and maybe another for includes or style sheets. Something like this:
/2000-02-01/
