Supporting my work on LilyPond financially

[David Kastrup]

Hi,

we are nearing the end of the year, and, uh, it looks like I could make
use of some of the spirit of giving.

As you can see from the accompanying report, the current number of
people supporting my work on LilyPond financially is on the decline:
while there are a few large donors, many of them actually have done so
much for LilyPond in other ways that it is embarrassing I am dependent
on their continued _large_ contributions.

So taking some of the load off them will not just express your gratitude
towards the work I do myself on LilyPond but also towards them.  It
would be fabulous if I could get along well with mostly "small"
donations in the monthly €15-€25 range, but that requires quite a few
more who are willing to pitch in.

Think about it.  You can ask me for my SEPA bank account number (SEPA
order should be the cheapest variant within the Euro zone), this mail
address is registered at Paypal, and you can use the account number
1Kw7HZMd8L52BCL9vEjSxdPG4p3phRvtQF for Bitcoin transfers.

There is still a lot LilyPond is in need of doing, I am pretty positive
that 2.18 will be out before Christmas, and I am responsible for a large
part of the developments even though the majority of contributions and
of organizational tasks and efforts and translation work and user help
and so on is done by volunteers working in their spare time.

But one person who just works on LilyPond can make a difference.  Can we
keep this up?

Thanks for your help!
