Whiteboard: Notes from David	last revised by 216.39.48.82 on Aug 17, 2005 3:30 am

I found this possibly illuminating note in one of the old email archives.

It may shed some light on the meaning of the term "orgl" in the Green code. Of course, it may not, if the term Orgl had drifted by the time of tech equivalence noted here.

I've seldom seen a terminology discussion that resulted in a useful
new name.  In most cases, you do much better to pick a slightly
sub-optimal but conventional word than to invent one of your own.
Some past examples from Xanadu:  Bert -> Work, Grab -> Lock, Orgl
-> Edition.  I'd rather not see this trend reversed.
Just MHO.  Thanks for listening.

have stuck with plain old Montage)
(PS: If you must have a terminology discussion, I suppose you've
earned it... as long as you make the April milestone!  :-)

"Orgl" comes from "ORGanizational? eLement" and was indeed renamed to "Edition".
