Hopefully you'll not need to change any configuration settings initially - we 
always try to make as much of it 'work out the box' as possible.

There is one URL that is important with SWORD - the Service Document. This is 
usually found at:

 - http://your-repository.com/sword/servicedocument

Requesting this will ask for your username and password. It returns an XML 
document that explains which collections the user can deposit into, and what 
the deposit URLs are. They are typically in the form of:

 - http://your-repository.com/sword/deposit/{collection-handle}
 - http://your-repository.com/sword/deposit/123456789/562

To use SWORD you will need a SWORD client. This can be as simple as 'curl' on 
the command line. There is a simple online SWORD client at:

 - http://client.swordapp.org/client/

However this client isn't really designed for end users, as you usually want to 
be able to hide details such as the service document from them. You might like 
to take a look at EasyDeposit which allows you to create custom SWORD deposit 
interfaces. It requires PHP and allows a lot of customization from within the 
application itself.
