Good to see - it's been a fair few months since the Journal went online and I've been looking forward to the first articles!

For the keen amateur - having many papers hidden away behind expensive subscriptions is a really dissapointment, so MARS is a fantastic resource.

Aside from the free access, what is especially appreciated is the transparency of the editorial process. Note that the Edgett paper lists its specific "Editor" and its two reviewers. Most journals (e.g., Science, Nature, etc.) keep this hidden behind a wall of anonymity. MARS appears, at first glance, very similar to the http://www.plos.org/ journals. Maybe MARS could eventually become a de facto "PLoS Mars" or "PLoS Planetary Sciences" or something similar.

There's a newly published paper, the fourth to date, by http://marsjournal.org/contents/2006/0002/.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned at the time, but the third paper by http://marsjournal.org/contents/2006/0001/ was published in April.
