+**Civboot** is a project which aims to reduce the tools and knowledge necessary to bootstrap modern civilisation as much as possible, with a focus on computers. It is was originally inspired by [[Collapse OS]] and is also an educational project.
Essentially, a Civboot is defined as a factory (or set of factories) and the tools and knowledge required to build a computer, as well as everything needed to build the factories/tools themselves, recursively. It applies the idea of bootstrapping to physical systems in order to wet the curiosity and intellect of builders and designers towards a common goal that could encourage simplicity, understandability, adaptability and human scale in computational culture.
-More specifically within the project, Civstack is the software implementation of Civboot - a self-bootstrapping software stack that is educational and can already be useful in the present day. The contributors of the Civboot project are starting with Civstack because software is easier than hardware and having a minimal yet useful software system for Civboot to target will clarify the requirements on what kind of computer is even need to build.

Relevance to permacomputing
---------------------------
-Today's technology stack and supply chain are too large and complex to be produced by small groups of people, much less understood from books or working examples. Simplifying parts of our technology stack has many benefits relevant to permacomputing:

1. Provides working examples that can be used as reference to learn from.
2. Creates a base to modify and build new ideas and approaches.
