What you have todo is:
1. Create seperate partitions for the /home/joe /home/jane directory
entrys.
2. install the quota program for your native GNU/Linux distribution you
are using. Which is ??? [Next time tell your system specs when asking
a question]
3. Update /etc/fstab and remount the system.
Note, the kernel has to support the use of quota's in most cases.
Here are some links:

B.t.w.
The `Folders' terminology is used in a M$ Wintendo enviroment but in the *X
world they
are refered to as directorys or special files.
