While running a syncdb I got this following error:

I was going through the code in startup_procedures.py, I found instead of appending to errors list to add "Add STATIC_URL setting to your settings.py file. The setting must be a url at which static files are accessible.' it should be changed to AskbotConfigError so that it raises the error as soon as STATIC_URL is not found.
