Handling static images on website?

How should we handle static images on the website?

Should we include an images/ directory? The only thing that would go awry is that if I add an image in CONTRIBUTING.md, is that the link will be broken on the master branch.

Why would it? Instead, I think we'd just need to tweak the Makefiles to copy the images/ folder into the build directory (similarly to what happens with the data/ directory). Does't strike me as difficult - why don't you go ahead and add the directory, and if you're not sure how to tweak the Makefiles, I'll take a look at that.
