enable global friend requests
-----------------------------
Key: CLEREZZA-473
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLEREZZA-473
Project: Clerezza
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Henry Story
Enabling friend requests to work globally, without the reliance on e-mail is
essential for any social web platform. Adding a friend, once the server has his
WebId should be as simple as:
1. add webid to list of foaf:knows
2. find if the known person has a ping endpoint
3. ping that endpoint to let them know that one is pointing to them
The pinged person should on receiving the friend request be able to see a
message with the request, and decide what type of relation she wants to have
with the original pinger.
A very simple protocol for this is described here
