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, harvested by members of the Mastodon instance at [https://collapsible.systems Collapsible.Systems]. 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, able to be served wirelessly (WLAN, single cell base station, packet radio) and over Ethernet from small low powered computers. | This wiki exists as a collaborative notepad to collect and organise content for the Collapsible project, harvested by members of the Mastodon instance at [https://collapsible.systems Collapsible.Systems].
