I notice that the current implementation fits within the old 8.3 DOS file naming scheme (except that both upper case and lower case is used). Is this done to avoid the FAT patent issue? If so, then we need to devise a naming scheme that fits within that... perhaps something like wwwwllnn.ext where: wwww indicates which wiki ll indicates which language nn indicates which alphabetical section (I assume the articles are grouped according to first letter, 00 through 26 for A-Z and other characters... or is this wrong?) Other alphabets have different numbers of letters, so do we sometimes need more than two digits? And some languages don't use alphabets... has somebody already worked out a general scheme for breaking up the files, and is this documented somewhere? We have to break up the data into chunks somehow. FAT has a 4GB file limit, as I recall... _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
