+@node WebDAV Resources
+@section Resources
+
+@deftp {GOOPS class} <resource>
+Base type for all WebDAV resources.
+
+The base class shouldn't be directly instanciated.
+
+ @defun resource? x
+ Is the given object a <resource>, or decendant?
+ @end defun
+@end deftp
+
+@deftp {GOOPS method} name resource
+The name of a resource is the local part of a href.
+@end deftp
+
+@deftp {GOOPS method} children resource
+All direct children of a resource, as a list.
+@end deftp
+
+@defun add-child! parent child [#:overwrite?] [#:collection?=(is-collection? child)]
+Adds a resource as a child of another resource.
+
+Before adding the resource to the parents child set,
+@code{(setup-new-resource! child parent)} is called. If
+@var{collection?} is true, then
+@code{(setup-new-collection! child parent)} is also called.
+
+If @var{overwrite?} is present, then the parent will be checked for a
+child which already has that name, and take action accordingly.
+It will return one of: @code{'replaced} if a resource already existed
+with that name, but it has been replaced, @code{'collision}, if the
+old one was kept, and @code{'created} if the new resource was added
+without collisions.
+
+If @var{overwrite?} is absent then the method always returns @var{'created}.
+@end defun
+
+@defun add-resource! resource name content
+Creates a new resource with the given name, and make it a child of
+@var{self}. Setting its initial content to @var{content}.
+
+Calls @code{add-resource!}, so the same book-keeping procedures are called.
+@c TODO Document throw
+@c TODO Document return
+@end defun
+
+@defun add-collection! resource name
+Similar to @code{add-resource!} but the created resource is instead a collection.
+@end defun
+
+@deftp {GOOPS method} setup-new-resource! (self <resource>) (parent <resource>)
+Book-keeping procedure called by @code{add-resource!} on @emph{all}
+added resources.
+
+Base implementation in a no-op.
+@end deftp
+
+@deftp {GOOPS method} setup-new-collection! (self <resource>) (parent <resource>)
+Book-keeping procedure called by @code{add-resource!} if
+@var{collection?} is true.
+
+Base implementation is a no-op.
+@end deftp
+
+@deftp {GOOPS method} is-collection? resource
+Is the given resource a collection.
+
+The base implementation simply checks if the resource has any children.
+@end deftp
+
+@deftp {GOOPS method} content resource
+@deftpx {GOOPS method} set-content! resource content
+Get and set the content of a given resource. @var{content}s type can
+be anything that the given resource type accepts. Overrides of this
+procedure should preferably save its contents properly.
+@end deftp

+
+@deftp {GOOPS method} copy-resource (resource <resource>) include-children? [name]
+Create a new resource which looks as similar as possible to the given
+resource. The new resource will have the same (GOOPS) class as the
+source, displayname, contentlanguage and all dead properties are
+transfered, other live properties are currently not explicitly
+transfered (but probably still transfered implicitly).
+
+The new resources name is @var{name} if given, and the name of the
+original resource otherwise.
+
+If @var{include-children?} is true then a deep copy is performed,
+otherwise no children are copied, and the resulting resource will be a
+leaf node.
+
+Content is copied verbatim.
+
+@b{NOTE} currently no helper method is called, which means that extra
+resources held by the resource object can't be copied.
+For example, FILE can't create a copy (but it also shouldn't do that
+here, but rathen when the element is ``mounted'' into the tree).
+@end deftp
+
+@c
+
+@defun lookup-resource root-resource path
+@end defun
+
+
+@defun all-resources-under resource [prefix='()]
+Returns the given resource, and all its children in a flat list.
+
+Currently depth first, but that might change.
+The root resource is however guaranteed to be first.
