Subscribing to a community server

From OneSwarm Wiki

Community servers are a new method for importing friends into OneSwarm. Each community server publishes a feed of new friends. After subscribing, your OneSwarm client will notify you when new friends are available or old friends have expired. Friends imported from a community server are marked as limited (so they can't see your file list) and have chat disabled (so they can't send you spam).

You can add community servers in the settings dialog or via the 'Add friends' link on the friend list.

Once selected, you'll see the following form:

• The community server we are operating at UW is filled in by default, but you can change this to any community server you'd like to use. We've added a forum for posting information about community servers.
• The group field specifies to which group the imported friends will be added.
• Some community servers require authentication, and you'll need to enter a provided username/password.
• By default, you'll be prompted for confirmation when new friends are received from a community server. If you uncheck this option, they'll be imported immediately and automatically.
• By default, OneSwarm synchronizes both additions and removals from community servers. Uncheck this to ignore removals.
