+# Proposal for Python Software Foundation: Makim
+
+Makim is a Python-based automation tool designed for effortless project
+management. It simplifies setup using YAML configuration and supports various
+programming languages. With an intuitive CLI powered by Typer, users can specify
+interpreters, debug code, and define dependencies seamlessly.
+
+Catering to DevOps Engineers and Software Developers, Makim streamlines tasks
+without redundancy. Its versatile language support makes automation and project
+management easy. By minimizing setup complexities, Makim frees users to focus on
+coding. Its goal is to enhance work efficiency and streamline workflows.
+
+Makim supports multiple backends for executing code, enabling the use of various
+programming languages within the Makim configuration file, including Python. By
+default, Makim employs Xonsh - a shell language and command-line interface that
+augments Python 3.6+ by integrating shell primitives from Bash and IPython, thus
+offering a robust scripting environment. Compatible with key operating systems
+like Linux, macOS, and Windows, Xonsh is tailored to streamline shell commands
+and scripting using Python's syntax. It strives to offer a flexible interface to
+accommodate users of all skill levels, from novices to experts, facilitating a
+broad spectrum of daily computing activities.

+- Objective \*:
+
+  The primary objective of this grant proposal is to enhance the Makim project
+  addressing key areas to improve its functionality, usability, and
+  compatibility. The proposed enhancements aim to streamline the development
+  process for Python projects by reducing technical debt and expanding platform
+  support. The following objectives outline the specific goals to be achieved
+  through this grant:
+
+  1. **Functional Enhancements and Platform Support**:
+
+     - Enhance the clarity and comprehensiveness of the Makim project
+       documentation, adding a complete guide for the makim configuration file.
+     - Introduce a matrix strategy for targets psf-grant-proposal to facilitate
+       efficient testing and deployment across multiple environments.
+     - Expand support for Windows platforms by transitioning from sh to native
+       Windows command execution mechanisms.
+     - Implement support for interactive arguments, enabling more dynamic and
+       user-friendly interaction with Makim projects.
+     - Introduce support for scheduling jobs with cron, enhancing automation
+       capabilities and workflow management.
+
+- Beneficiaries \*:
+
+  With the support of this grant, the project will provide opportunities for
+  skill development and community engagement, particularly for individuals
+  involved in the project's development and maintenance. The beneficiaries of
+  this grant include:
+
+  1. **Developer**:
+
+     The developer, Abhijeet, based in India, worked as an intern and remains
+     committed to advancing the Makim project. Having previously contributed to
+     Makim, Abhijeet aims to continue his involvement, dedicating approximately
+     100-110 hours over the 12-week duration to further enhance the project's
+     development and implementation.
+
+  2. **Project Manager**:
+
+     A dedicated project manager will oversee the coordination, scheduling, and
+     resource allocation aspects of Makim's development. Their role is pivotal
+     in ensuring smooth project execution and timely delivery of milestones. He
+     will dedicate about 15 hours to the project over the duration.
+
+  3. **Senior Developer (Review and Quality Assurance)**:
+
+     The senior developer will focus on reviewing code contributions, ensuring
+     adherence to project standards, and maintaining code quality. Their
+     expertise in Python development and quality assurance practices will be
+     invaluable in upholding Makim's integrity. He will dedicate 20 hours to the
+     project over the duration.
+
+  4. **Social Media Manager**: Mfonobong Uyah, as the Social Media Manager, will
+     play a crucial role in enhancing Makim's online presence and community
+     engagement. He will develop and implement strategies to promote project
+     updates, engage with followers, and foster a vibrant online community. By
+     dedicating around 20 hours to the project over the duration, Mfonobong will
+     ensure consistent communication, highlight key milestones, and drive
+     interest in Makim through various social media platforms.
+
+  5. **Mentorship and Guidance**:
+
+     Ivan Ogasawara, a key member of the Open Science Labs steering council,
