+# Social goals of Jehanne
+
+Jehanne is an educational tool: I want people to learn to admin
+and program it.
+
+To this aim I want to build the simplest possible distributed
+operating system that can provide all the services people expect
+from a modern operating system and much more.
+
+As a research tool, it want to challenge as many well established
+assumptions as possible, such as the need of POSIX.
+
+It also want to bring new ideas to OS research, expanding the
+Overton window in this field.
