Set up wija (5) - add your friends to the member list

To communicate with your friends using wija, you have to add them to your member list. You can initiate communication with them by selecting their nicknames.

For example, suppose Alice wants to add Bob to her member list. In that case, Alice and Bob let each other subscribe to their presence following these steps.

• 1. Alice adds Bob to her member list
• 2. Bob lets Alice subscribe to his presence
• 3. Alice lets Bob subscribe to her presence

Then, by obtaining each other's public key, they will be able to communicate safely.
