While I have no objection to this, like it, and on our site use the above suggested "Group level directories", the mentioned application can of course be achieved with the current default,
since even in the wiki.d/$Group subdirectories the files are named $Groupname.$Filename, it is easy enough to write (with tar, since I don't use zip)
tar -cf myfile.pmtar wiki.d/$Groupname.*
