Abstract: This paper introduces gIBIS, a hypertext system
        that captures early design deliberations on large
        complex problems. It is based upon the Issue Based
        Information Design (IBIS) methodology that views
        design as a rhetorical process, with a set of issues
        that can be generalized, specialized, responded to,
        questioned, argued and so on. gIBIS is based to a
        large part on semi-structured messages. Participants
        propose and respond to issues in structured ways
        that eliminate unconstructive moves such as
        name-calling and argument by repetition. The authors
        also evaluate and criticize their work based upon
        preliminary observations of its use.
