<div class="text">I would like to request a sponsor for incubating
my existing Qt project, <i>ghostwriter. </i>ghostwriter is a
Markdown editor that aims to provide a relaxing, distraction-free
writing environment.</div>

<p><b>Planned KDE Manifesto Compliance:</b></p>
<u><span class="value">Open Governance</span></u><u>:</u> I would
like to open <i>ghostwriter</i>'s governance to the KDE community
in general to help limit the bus factor and share the load.
<p><span class="value"><u>Free Software:</u> <i>ghostwriter</i> is
already licensed under GPL3. Various third-party libraries and
artwork in use by the project have GPL3-compatible licenses.
While it is presently hosted on GitHub, I would like to
transition it to KDE Invent's GitLab server as it's new home,
and to take advantage of KDE's releases/CI rather continuing to
use GitHub Actions or AppVeyor for releases.<br>
</span></p>
<p><u><span class="value">Inclusivity</span></u><u>:</u> Anyone can
participate!</p>
<p><u><span class="value">Innovation</span></u><u>:</u> <i>ghostwriter
</i>is always improving, and by incubating the project with KDE, I
hope that it can include KDE frameworks innovations and other
people's ideas/contributions.</p>
<p><span class="value"><u>Common Ownership:</u> I would like to
increase the bus factor for the project by asking the KDE
community to share ownership and contribute.<br>
</span></p>
<p><span class="value"><u>End-User Focus:</u> In addition to
ensuring a smooth user experience, <i>ghostwriter</i>'s goals
include providing translates of its interface text into as many
languages as possible, and always keeping accessibility in
mind. To meet these goals, the project will transition from
using Qt Linguist to il8n. Other KDE framework APIs will be
evaluated as well, such as Sonnet for spell checking.</span></p>
