Re: Proposals/Folk Music (including Roots,Traditional and World Music)  project proposal

I've never proposed a project before so I probably did this wrong. So please correct me, and give me any guidance possible, including telling what I need to do to fix my errors and more this forward. I've done a lot of work in Wikipedia in this area (actually these 4 areas) which includes 4 vague, overlapping musical genres. Of these I think that there is only one existing project (Roots music) which is basically dead because it is too narrow of a topic. (and which IMHO should be rolled or morphed into this new broader project) I think it had about 4 posts in the last year, 3 of which were me.

Rather that expect a rush of people who say they're ready to help right now, I would like to set up a project which has a broader, more viable definition which would eventually collect some followers, more than the dead more narrowly-defined project.
