+ \mainpage The KDE Resource library
+
+ The KDE Resource framework can be used to manage resources of
+ different types, organized in families. The Resource framework
+ is for example used for addressbook resources in libkabc and for
+ calendar resources in libkcal.
+
+ When you want to use the framework for a new family, you need to
+ <ul><li>Define a name for your resource family</li>
+ <li>subclass Resource and add the fields and method that are needed
+ in your application</li>
+ <li>If needed, override the doOpen() and doClose() methods.
+ <li>In your application, you can use ResourceManager to keep track
+ of the resources in your family, and you can use ResourceSelectDialog
+ to let the user select a single resource.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ When you want to add a new resource type to an existing resource family,
+ you need to
+ <ul><li>Further subclass the family-specific Resource to implement
+ resource type-specific operation</li>
+ <li>Subclass ResourceConfigWidget to provide a configuration widget
+ for your new resource type</li>
+ <li>Provide a .desktop file so that the new resource type can be found
+ automatically by the ResourceManager</li>
+ </ul>

+/**
+ This class provides a resource which is managed in a general way.
+
+ A Resource represents the concept of an object with the following attributes:
+
+ - Applications operate on sets of one or more Resource objects.
+ - Creation and deletetion of Resource objects is done in a general way,
+ independent of concrete functionality of the Resource.
+ - The end user has control over creation, deletion and configuration of
+ Resource object.
+ - Properties, behaviour and configuration of different Resource objects can
+ widely differ.
+ - Resources can be active or inactive.
+ - There is one special Resource which is the standard Resource. This can for
+ example be used as default destination for newly created object managed
+ by a certain Resource family.
+ - Activation of Resources can be covered by a two step process of being opened
+ and then loaded. Deactivation corresponds to saving and closing.
+ - Different application ususally share the same set of Resources.
+
+ The Resource base class provides the management functionality. Classes
+ inheriting from Resource automatically appear in the general tderesources
+ kcontrol module.
+
+ Concrete functionality of Resources is specified per family by a subclass of
+ Resource. This classes in turn have subclasses which implement the different
+ flavours of the functionality represented by the family.
+
+ A subclass should reimplement at least the constructor and the
+ writeConfig method.
+
+ An example for a Resource subclass hierarchy would be the "calendar" family.
+ The ResourceCalendar subclass would specify an API for accessing calendar
+ data. Subclasses of ResourceCalendar would implement this API for local files,
+ remote files, specific calendar servers etc.
