Problem: The best way to save, organize & structure a set of documents that together comprise a document library, such as for a manual, catalogue or other sizeable, multi-document reference set. (And while I am a big fan of wiki's these aren't appropriate in many cases)
Solution: A well organized directory hierarchy of PDF documents is a very safe way to go. While it lacks many fancy feature of other solutions, it is very simple and portable. This structure can easily be implemented any fashion, local file systems, shared network folders, FTP and web servers. The entire contents can be zipped for easy transport or exchange. In order to be compatible for multiple operating system as well as web server, you must be sure to name the directories and file using the lowest common denominator of characters accepts on most platforms.
This article by MTL list the characters to avoid when naming such document libraries.
