Description

When importing a polygon format contest with cmsImporter <directoryName>, the contest is created with name "directoryName". I don't think this is an optimal choice for the name, since this directory structure is often temporary and poorly named. Can something not be taken from the contest.xml names tag?

P.S. I know you can change it from AWS, but I think it should be better from the start.

Research direction

Start at the cmsImporter entry point for Polygon-format contests and trace how the contest name is chosen from the supplied directoryName. Inspect the contest.xml names tag and determine which name should be used; done means an imported contest receives that name instead of the temporary directory name.
