Étoilé is 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 will be portable to most operating systems.
