Thank you, good work. Already in this basic form this is quite useful.
If you are interested, I have some feature requests for future work :-)

It's good to know that there is already kind of a service catalog
available somewhere because I was just starting to write one myself as a
byproduct to a tool that allows finding out for a large number of domain
names/mail addresses if the organizations behind them are
federated/eduGAIN-ready.

Something that could be of use (at least in the beginning) is to add
links * for the individual entities to https://met.refeds.org/met
MET (currently) is slow but displays a bit more info that the listing on
http://www.edugain.org/technical/

Best Regards
Lukas
