+ =head1 OVERVIEW
+ Authors can only write-access the C</~authorname/> space. They can
+ copy resources into the resource area through the publication step,
+ and move them back through a recover step. Authors do not have direct
+ write-access to their resource space.
+ During the publication step, several events will be
+ triggered. Metadata is gathered, where a wizard manages default
+ entries on a hierarchical per-directory base: The wizard imports the
+ metadata (including access privileges and royalty information) from
+ the most recent published resource in the current directory, and if
+ that is not available, from the next directory above, etc. The Network
+ keeps all previous versions of a resource and makes them available by
+ an explicit version number, which is inserted between the file name
+ and extension, for example C<foo.2.html>, while the most recent
+ version does not carry a version number (C<foo.html>). Servers
+ subscribing to a changed resource are notified that a new version is
+ available.
