I wonder if minimalism has been absorbed into newer fields such as the information typing part of DITA. Steve, if you can find a copy of Developing Quality Technical Information, by Gretchen Hargis et al, I'd be interested to hear how much overlap you find with minimalist principles.

Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs, but did you know you can Google the techwr-l archives directly? Googling for:

minimalism site:techwr-l.com/archives

... yields 274 hits, ranging from a 1994 discussion to the current thread.
