Project Goals

Our goal is to create a user environment designed from the ground up around the things people do with computers: create, collaborate, and learn.

Without implementation details like files and operating-system processes polluting the computer's UI, Étoilé users will be able to:

have revision history for all objects in the system

collaborate with other people on any type of document (text, drawing, code, etc.)

shape their own workflow by combining the provided Services

use a system that is closer to their mental model of how computers should work

Étoilé is open-source (MIT/BSD licensed) and built on GNUstep—it should be portable to most operating systems.
