Re: [ba-ohs-talk] intro & IBIS namespace
Compendium followed the QuestMap model, and you can see a set of different
treatments of icons for these node types at
http://www.compendiuminstitute.org/tools/skins.htm. There are some new ones
on the way also. (01)

Hi Danny, (07)
No, the IBIS terms are not registered or copyrighted at all. It's public
property, so have at it. (08)
Note that there are actually two sets of IBIS terms around. Horst Rittel's
original terminology (as described in the seminal paper available at
<http://www-iurd.ced.berkeley.edu/pub/abstract_wp131.htm>) was "issue",
"position", and "argument" for the basic three elements. (09)
The original version of QuestMap (called "CM/1") used those terms, but we
switched to "questions", "ideas", "pros", and "cons" around 1993 because
they were a bit clearer and more intuitive (and they suggested better
icons!). (010)
