+ * To do so, we look for rel="me" links in the given homepage, if one
+ * of them points to the Friendica profile of the user, a verification
+ * mark is added to the link.
+ *
+ * To reverse the process, if a homepage link is given, it is displayed
+ * with the rel="me" attribute as well, so that 3rd party tools can
+ * verify the connection between the two pages.
+ *
+ * This task will be performed by the worker on a daily basis _and_ every

+ * of the task is set to LOW, with the second case it is MEDIUM.
