Etoile intends to be an innovative GNUstep based user environment built from the ground up on highly modular and light components with project and document orientation in mind, in order to allow users to create their own workflow by reshaping or recombini

Flexibility and modularity on both User Interface and code level should allow us to scale from PDA to computer environment.

Here are some key features of "Etoile":

· Light, focused applications, cooperating together to provide a rich user experience, using GNUstep services and our own Services model
· Fast, simple data sharing between tasks and documents without involving lot of context switches (between applications, windows, selection etc.)
· Facility provided by default to composite, layout unrelated elements in first-class objects like documents, folders etc.
· Workflow based on project inspired management (versioning, indexing, sharing etc.)
· Easy communication/collaboration among users, where users are first-class objects in the environment
· Assistant technology similar to the Newton's approach.
