I think Methodspace.com already looks really good and I can see it becoming a really useful tool. It is excellent that there is a possibility for starting topic specific discussion groups! Of course it is also great to have an outlet for general methods related ramblings as well ;) Pass my congrats to the rest of the SAGE Methodspace.com team. Regards, Kaisa
