Heh.  That's a big topic.

Consider KOrganizer: You can have multiple calendars, and the KOrganizer 
interface will merge the information.  Or Kaddressbook, where you might have 
multiple addressbooks - one local, one from an ldap server,  one that you 
import from your TV station over http with their to-air schedule (ok, that 
last is unlikely, but hey, it could happen one day).  

All these things are resources, and most of them can be configured from within 
the application.  In the case of things like kolab or ldap servers, it is 
often easier to configure them all at once, which is what you can do in the 
resources module.

It's very like the 'pick your favourite browser' or 'pick your favourite 
terminal app', but it's about data sources, not applications.

Also, I've grabbed the rest of these (this one and the last, that I forgot to 
reply to to say so) and will commit them tomorrow.
