[Tf-aai] CLARIN-B centre checklist update

[Martin Matthiesen]

Hello Jozef,

I do find the script very useful at times, for example when debugging LBR/REMS connectivity issues. But I agree that aaggreg is as useful to check connectivity. I guess the underlying point is to make sure that AAI works for the service in question. This can be checked by simply login and performing a defined action (say accessing a CLARIN ACA secured corpus). My vote goes to removing the script as a requirement but keeping it as a strong recommendation.

Martin

> - it is perl based and having perl scripting allowed on production server only

> - this is hardly of any use to the person doing the assessment;
> - from my personal experience, it has not helped me much lately and in
