The dumpHTML.php generates filenames which
- are UNICODE encoded, which is not very well supported by every tools
- have very long names
This is not very critical, as long as the dump is on a Hard-disk (filesystem) ;
but that is very problematic if you want to put the dump on a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
and that is exactly what we try to do now.
To my opinion the generated filenames should be ISO 9660 Level-3 compliant,
which is the most well supported filesystem.
To solve the problem I propose to save the article in a truncated version of the
Md5 hash of each title.
Almost the same problem exists with pictures/media files.
