    In the instructions provided with 1.0-RC2 it states
    > 1] Files and directories that must be writable by the webserver:
    >
    > src/lyceum/
    > src/lyceum/wp-comments-post.php
    > src/lyceum/wp-content/blogs/

    I'm leery of setting up write access on src/lyceum as that could allow users to modify the existing files. Plus, our production environment is load balanced across a number of servers, with content being replicated to all from our staging server, so I'm also leery of having anything that is writing files to a production server.

    Secondly, because I'm on a Windows environment setting write access to src/lyceum such that the server can write to the folder and then modify those documents afterwards is equivalent to just granting write access to the entire folder tree under src/lyceum.

    What exactly does the software need write access for? Is it just for the initial installation, or does it need to write during normal use?

    To write the .htaccess file.

    For user image/media uploads.
