About Étoilé
From Étoilé webpage
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.
Obtaining Étoilé
Currently Étoilé is available in the AUR.
- etoileAUR
- "Stable" version
- etoile-svnAUR
- "Trunk" (Unstable) version
Configuring Étoilé
Currently the installation script, also called "setup.sh", is not very mature and can cause problems if used in Arch Linux, because packages are installed in /usr not /usr/local (the script assumes that you have installed it there) so you have to manually adjust the script.
