Hi and welcome,

> I would like to request a sponsor for incubating my existing Qt project, ghostwriter. ghostwriter is a Markdown editor that aims to provide a relaxing, distraction-free writing environment.

It's a really nice project and I'm willing to sponsor it. I'll send you in a seperate email with the next steps to not being to noisy on the mailing list.

Cheers,
Carl

> Free Software: ghostwriter 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.

> Common Ownership: I would like to increase the bus factor for the project by asking the KDE community to share ownership and contribute.

> End-User Focus: In addition to ensuring a smooth user experience, ghostwriter'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.
