Hi Ben, good to see you.  :-)

Aliasing or symlinking is the preferred method; e.g.:

     $ mkdir /path/to/docroot/public
     $ ln -s /path/to/Solar/App/Public /path/to/docroot/public/Solar

This helps two ways:

1. When you upgrade Solar you don't need to re-copy the files.

2. If/when you add your own top-level Vendor directory, you can link  
your public resources the same way.

     $ ln -s /path/to/Vendor/App/Public public/Vendor

I'll check on that, thanks.
