I had a look, and, as far as I can tell, the most important institutions 
are there, i.e. our institute (of course:), the Slovenian academic 
network ARNES (through which most Slovenian researchers have access) and 
three of the four Slovenian universities. There are also some more 
institutes and also a rather bizzare mix of elementary and secondary 
schools. Of course there could be more (e.g. more research institutes) 
but we don't really have any mechanism to require / request them to join 
eduGain or even know who exactly they are of who the contact persons 
are.. I think those that see the benefits have already joined and the 
rest might follow at their own pace.
But, as said, the important academic institutions are there.

I had a look at those that LINDAT checks, and all the Slovene ones are 
ok. For the rest, I think we'd wait for CLARIN+!
All the best,
Tomaž
