As of the latest checking the basic functionality for adding remote friends is working well enough so that people can try it out, understand how it is meant to work, and come up with improvements.
How does it work? On your home profile, once you have created yourself a WebID, you should now see an input field where you can add yourself a contact in the form of their WebID. So you can try this out by pasting http://bblfish.net/people/henry/card#me for example. Clicking "Add Contact" will then bring you to http://localhost:8080/user/admin/people?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fbblfish.net%2Fpeople%2Fhenry%2Fcard%23me which will show you information about me and the friends I have declared as being mine. You can click on the button next to "Add as contact" and that will add me to your list of foaf:knows relations. Your profile panel should show photos of the people you have thus added. You can also explore information about other people who have WebIDs, and add them too. So this I can imagine is going to be quite an important part of Clerezza, so I think we should add a component name for it in jira to create issues for it.
