The glossary makes the methods page redundant?

The new Glossary page makes the Methods page a bit redundant because it contains descriptions of some of the methods as well as links to the implementations. Perhaps we can keep method descriptions in Methods and only put other terms in the Glossary.

The methods page is a quick list with links for reference for newcomers ("is my algorithm here?"). Whereas the glossary is for quick definitions that can be linked from anywhere. I would imagine that in time, if we really want the glossary to be useful, we'd cross-ref to it from all over the docs, possibly adding a little tooltip with the definition (using e.g. the couple of js+css files suggested here).
