Hi folks, I maintain Ghostwriter. A few updates:

- I just pushed a fix for the '"' typo and updated the home page to the 
KDE gitlab io page.

- I would advise against pulling the so-called version 2.2.0 of 
Ghostwriter. Whatever is happening behind the scenes, 2.1.6 is clearly 
the current official release.

- The links to the help pages were broken upstream when the project 
changed hands. Thus if you did or did not upgrade from an early 
slackbuild, your help pages are broken regardless.

This change of hands for Ghostlab has been unusual. Neither wereturtle 
nor KDE has printed a single word acknowledging this very significant 
change, and the only sign of it is in the breaking of all the project's 
URLs.

The app is fully functional aside from the URLs.
