Donation ask—general purpose

Synopsis

Highlights "why" Inkscape exists and why it is important. Explains how Inkscape needs to grow in the future.
Identifies what can be done to help Inkscape today.

"If Inkscape has been helpful to you in the past, help Inkscape advance into the future."

We should probably plan to update and/or re-write the ask once a year or so.

• Haven't contributed before (in terms of labor or funding)
• Strongly wish to see project remain vibrant
• Aren't project "insiders", don't know about our needs or problems
