Frustratingly little actual content in the article, but it links to a new-looking website that is WIP and mentions an original source document that is, frustratingly, only available for download in the US. Archive.org has a copy, here - https://archive.org/details/worksimplificati00coxj https://archive.org/details/worksimplificati00coxj

Actually, scratch that, the link I posted is to a master thesis.

Have you tried reaching out to the guy for a copy?
- scrappyjoe 2y ago
  Yup, that’s what I did next.

    Did he reply back with the book?

      I actually asked the author of the original article, which was linked in the article you posted, and got no reply. But I managed to track it down elsewhere. I've thrown it onto my static site, so that it's easy to get to. My understanding is that it's in the public domain, so this is fine. If I get told otherwise I'll take it down. https://riazarbi.github.io/files/Work%20simplification%20as%20exemplified%20by%20the%20work%20simplification%20program%20of%20the%20US%20Bureau%20of%20Budget.pdf https://riazarbi.github.io/files/Work%20simplification%20as%...

        Well, after all that, it turns out the netlify app linked in the post is a copy of the original PDF! So, if you care about the actual content, just go read that. The PDF does have some cool graphic design though.

        I know I'm just talking to myself at this point, but I _finally_ get the meaning of the linked article title. The netlify app is a fork, like a code fork, of the original document. Which is to say, they have taken the original work, transcribed it to a digital format, and will now evolve it. I don't know if that just went way over my head or if it was not clearly communicated, but there you have it.
