# Social goals of Jehanne
2019-06-05 22:49:25 +02:00
Jehanne is an educational tool: I want to empower people by
turning them to hackers.
2019-06-03 23:26:32 +02:00
To this aim I want to build the simplest possible distributed
operating system that can provide all the services people expect
2020-01-06 00:44:58 +01:00
from a modern operating system and much more. This way, everybody
2019-06-05 22:49:25 +02:00
will be able to read and understand its internals and to code
their own tools for it.
2019-06-03 23:26:32 +02:00
As a research tool, it want to challenge as many well established
2019-06-05 22:49:25 +02:00
assumptions as possible, such as the need of POSIX semantics at
kernel level.
2019-06-03 23:26:32 +02:00
It also want to bring new ideas to OS research, expanding the
Overton window in this field.

I want its distributed design and protocol to challenge the Web,
increasing the ability of people to securely compose remote
applications without leaking personal data.
