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.

    This is cool! I’m going to have some fun reading it and filling in some knowledge gaps! I often see this stuff through a bit of a writing perspective and I could see something like this, more developed perhaps and running on a meshnet, being a sort of central nexus around which a society could rebuild or an alternative society establish itself.

      Wikipedia doesn’t have any practical guides, so I don’t think a USB version of it will be very helpful in such a scenario. At most it would give you ideas what to look for, which doesn’t help either if you have no internet (or large nearby library).

      But I also think the internet is a bit more resilient than you think. Sure, the large energy intensive data-centers will be difficult to maintain (mostly because they will struggle economically), but the basic network is quite resilient and many people will see the benefit in keeping it operational.

        Fair points. Maybe I just don’t see fully the vision of this wiki yet. Maybe just more time is needed. Sometimes my home internet stability already feels like in a middle of apocalypse 😁 Maybe I should learn more about this infrastructure.
