An open discussion list for topics related to the eduGAIN interfederation service.

We have some plans for using the validator in batch mode, we will 
describe them in some detail on Monday.
As you are proably aware, the current validator can be given a URL from 
which to consume the metadata, but will not automatically run on them.
