I can't speak for what NLnet will or will not decide to donate to, but I can 
speak about the fact that your project needs attainable goals, because you 
only get donated once you meet the goals you originally said you'd meet.

So "Package all the apps for different formats" seems like a bad idea since 
it's an almost impossible to achieve milestone ;)

As an example, the 5 goals i set when i did some Okular project earlier this 
year

1. Support for signing unsigned signatures
2. Support digital signatures in the Okular Windows version
3. Make signature text support all character sets
4. Write Okular-mobile user interface to show signature status
5. Support digital signatures in the Okular Android version

Cheers,
  Albert

P.S: Of course each of the goals/milestones had some more description that 
just 1 sentence, but I hope you get the idea that you need to be a bit more 
precise in what you're going to do.
