- Folders are like folders/directories in the unix file-system, but in 
SmallWiki they have a document attached that is displayed when 
accessing it.

- Pages are like text-files in the unix file-system.

- Resources are like any other file (pictures, pdf, zip, ...) in the 
unix file-system.

In unix file-system you are able to nest folders with the same name, 
the same is possible with SmallWiki. I don't know the exact semantics 
of namespaces.

So, you can have a folder structures like the following example, as 
long as the names of the children of a folder are all different:

	smallwiki		<-- root folder
		howto
		scg
			howto
			smallwiki
			scg
		smallwiki

Hope this helps,
Lukas
