The short answer is that creating relationships is not part of the OpenSocial specification. I don't know of any plans to add this capability to the spec.
If you think about it, does a social application (running within a container) really need to be able to create a new relationship directly? Each social container tends to have it's own way of creating and managing relationships between users. I think some containers might be reluctant to give those reigns over to social applications in many circumstances.

I would like to create relationships (e.g. start following another user) using the People Service. However it seems that neither the PHP nor the Java implementation supports it for the time being (the PersonService interface only has support for getPerson & getPeople) I couldn't find any reference to this in the current issues. Could you point me to the appropriate issue if any, or tell me whether this is in roadmap? Thanks walter Questo messaggio e i suoi allegati sono indirizzati esclusivamente alle persone indicate.
