Time to post a short list of weblinks that lead to a huge amount of information about designmethods. They all come from different branches, they all look different, some are a little bit older others are up-to-date, but every single one of them provides useful information and shows how many people are intrested in the topic of designmethods:
- futurelab, innovation in education (english)
- Engine Service Design (english)
- MAP-Tool, PRK Universität Karlsruhe (german)
- Portal Designmanagment on de.wikipedia.org (german)
- TU Delft, the Industrial Design Engineering Wiki (english)
- Better Product Design, Tools and Techniques (english)
Thanks Juliane for the inputs and for keeping me updated

In the storytelling tradition of Studs Terkel and the photographic spirit of Mike Disfarmer, The Oxford Project tells the extraordinary true tale of a seemingly ordinary Midwestern town through the pictures and words of its residents. Equal parts art, American history, cultural anthropology, and human narrative—The Oxford Project is at once personal and universal, surprising and predictable, simple and profound.
