Comment (by iwakeh):

 I would suggest changing the title of this ticket to "Define CollecTor's
 file-structure protocol 1.0".

 For distribution  we depend on that file structure and third parties
 downloading data also need something to rely on. So, this protocol
 description should be part of the Collector data description.

 The three folders `recent`, `archive`, and `index` are a good basis for
 the protocol. Thus, we don't need to write about any other files in the
 root directory. And, these folders can be liberally placed wherever on the
 physical/virtual machine a CollecTor admin sees them fit as long as they
 show up under the CollecTor root. And, the html-files can be even in a
 different place (which is the case on the mirror).

 Summary:
 * define CollecTor protocol 1.0
 * using the three folders `recent`, `archive`, and `index` as top folders
 * describe the substructure as it is hard-coded now.
