Federal Modernization Workbook

Archive

Every edition of the workbook, with its Word editions, decks, narration audio and videos

The Federal Modernization Workbook’s archive: each edition is a fixed, tagged state of the books, guides and developer workbooks, published as a GitHub Release with that edition’s Word editions, presentation decks, narration audio and videos, and listed here with every file it holds. Also lists the kits and video sets released on their own.

The site always shows the current workbook. An edition is a fixed copy of it: a tag on the repository, named for the month it was cut (edition-2026.10; a second cut in the same month is edition-2026.10.1), and a GitHub Release that keeps that edition’s built files: the Word editions of the books, the presentation decks, the narration audio and the videos. Nothing in a Release changes after it is published, so a link to an edition’s file, or to the source at an edition, keeps pointing at the same thing.

Each book, guide and developer workbook ends with its version and revision history: version 1.0 in the first edition it appears in, one step up in each edition that changes it, and the changes in each. Every change between editions, however small, is in the repository’s commit history.
