The goal of this project is to gather strategies, skills, disciplines, technologies, ideas, designs and critical thought in an effort to help prepare communities big and small for a time of great upheaval, an era of collapses (plural). It is not a submission to 'The Collapse' and nor does it seek to romanticise an end times. Within this frame, individual-centered survivalist and prepper cultures are not encouraged, while we identify that both hold much that may be of use to communities facing tough times. | The goal of this project is to gather strategies, skills, disciplines, technologies, ideas, designs and critical thought in an effort to help prepare communities big and small for a time of great upheaval, an era of collapses (plural).

This wiki exists as a collaborative notepad to collect and organise content for the Collapsible project, | This wiki exists as a collaborative notepad to collect and organise content for the Collapsible project, with a social media tentacle at the Mastodon instance at [https://collapsible.systems Collapsible.Systems]. It was launched on September 1, 2023. We are aiming to create a 'real' wiki, with useful articles and conforming to a common editorial style, a 'collapsipedia'. For this a domain has already been registered. | ||
The wiki will be built primarily as an online archive, but with offline networking applications in mind. A core outcome target is for the entire wiki to be served wirelessly (WLAN, single cell base station, packet radio) and over Ethernet from small low powered computers. PDF, e-pub and print-on-demand outcomes will also be explored. | |||
'''Unlike other wikis that solely focus on sustainability or lone prepping, the Collapsible Wiki widens its scope to a holistic view on resilience, from organisational systems to disaster preparedness, radio communications, 'permacomputing', medicine and climate resilient cropping.''' | |||
This work will be done in English, translated into other languages where translators are available. | This work will be done in English, translated into other languages where translators are available. | ||
