Jehanne is an educational tool: I want to empower people by
|
|
|
|
|
turning them to hackers.

|
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.

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.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
